Estimate the cost of the wedding & number of attendees.
Then calculate the “per head” cost associated with your attendance. (You, or you, wife, and kids)
Then at least double that amount in cash or gift equivalent.
You and the wife should give about an $800 gift
They are spending $400 on you. You think $100 is a nice thank you?

The **national average cost of a wedding** in the US is **$30,000** ¹. If we assume that the average number of guests at a wedding is 136 ¹, then the average cost per person would be approximately **$221**.

This isn't on the attendee though and is a dumbass POV. I didn't force you to throw a super nice wedding, that was your choice as the bride and groom and should have no bearing on the gift.
