Whats a reasonable amount to give as a gift when the couple have asked for vouchers??

Depends who you are and what kind of wedding it is. Most of the weddings i've been to recently (5 in the last year!) have been black tie/outer london and we've given 100 pounds.

On the plus side, all those people are invited to my wedding in June so we'll see some of it back

Now, i've got a wedding i'm missing in May.. it's not black tie and it's in Liverpool.. dunno what i'm going to give - probably 50 quid.

These figures may be well above what a lot of people give, but i'm told it's the 'right amount' for the types of weddings we've been to

Give what you can afford!

I'd give (as a single person) £25 or a bit more if they were close friends. As a couple maybe give £50?

At the end of the day you are attending their special day that's all that matters.

If you feel a bit stingy in giving your set amount (not that you should) then maybe you could club together with other friends/family/colleagues who are going and give it as a lump sum?

I would give £10 or £25 depending on how close friends they are

Hiya, I traveled to a wedding in Devon last summer by train. I did not want to carry a parcel, so asked friends for advice. I settled on a £30 gift voucher from Argos. I had explained to the bride if I came money would be tight as I was not working. The bride was just delighted I could come. She had several vouchers from Argos, so clubbed them together for a double bed of her choice. Another couple who were richer and could not come sent a cheque for £500. Just give acording to your means.... Best Wishes....Julie
