How much should I spend on a wedding gift?
Q. How much should I spend on a shower gift? How much should I spend on a wedding gift?
Is it different if a) you're in the wedding and b) if you are bringing a guest?
Also would you mind including your location, just so I can gauge the difference.
Thanks so much! xoxo, Jenn

A. Of course the etiquette answer is "whatever you feel is appropriate and it depends on how well you know the person" but I know that's not helpful.
I usually spend up to $50 on a shower gift, something off their registry that is house-related as I know it will blend in with other gifts and not be out of place, and it will be something that she likes.
As a wedding gift I either give something off the registry plus a cheque, or just a cheque with a total wedding gift value of $200-$250 as a gift from my partner and myself. (b) If I were attending alone I would cut that gift approximately in half, and give $100-$150, and (a) if I'm in the wedding I know my efforts and previous gifts "count" towards my gift, but I still feel like if I am in the wedding that person is near and dear to me so personally I still stick with the $200-$250 gift (from 2 people).
I live near Toronto in Canada.

Can I buy knives, using a gift card that I received as a wedding gift?
Q. I know it's bad luck to receive knives as a wedding gift. How about buying knives, using a gift card that we received as a wedding gift? Does anyone have an answer with a logical explanation?
A. I'm not sure you would know what a logical explanation is seeing as you actually believe in "bad luck". That is totally illogical. If you believe so strongly that knives for a wedding gift are "bad luck" then you should not be using a gift card received at the wedding to buy knives with I guess. I don't see how it can be any less "bad luck" if you use wedding money to buy the knives. Frankly, if I were you I would dump the superstitions and go buy the knives that you need for your kitchen. Just don't let a black cat walk in front of you..................
