My Niece is getting married (first marriage for both) what would an appropriate amount of money be? I have not gone to a wedding in a few yrs. Also my 4 adult children who live with me each got an invitation. Does that mean that they each need to give seperate gift envelopes to their cousin or could I give 1 gift from all of us. Thankyou in advance for your response.

Dear appropriate wedding gift,
The fact that each of your adult children received an invitation means that they too are invited and are therefore expected to give a gift.
It is impossible to set a dollar figure on a monetary gift. What would you spend on a gift if you went to a department store? You can guage from there what you may want to give. I don't see why you could not combine your monetary contribution with your children's and sign it from all of them. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com

Dear Appropriate,
I completely agree. Actually, though, monetary gifts are my least favorite gift. There is no way to know what is 'enough' for some people. You could offend by giving too much or too little. In my opinion, it is the worse gift idea.
