    How much do you give for a wedding?

    In lieu of gift, just give them straight cash, how much would be appropriate?

    I gave my cousin $100 and now I get cards every holiday. I'm not sure if that is for appreciation or punishment though.

    If you don't have a lot of money to throw around, $100 is about right.

    Depends on how well you know them. Non-immediate family I'd say is $100, acquaintance from work or school I'd say is $50.
