What is the appropriate amount to give for a wedding gift?
Q. My husband & I are in our mutual friend's wedding. What is "the acceptable going rate" these days for a wedding gift?
A. You are going to get a ridiculously wide range of answers, and that's because everyone has a different idea of what's acceptable.
In truth, what's acceptable is what YOU can afford. It is unacceptable for you to pay $200 for a wedding gift when that would put you in the poorhouse. Look at your budget, your finances, and buy accordingly.
I typically spend more on family members than on friends. How close I am to the person affects how much I spend. My husband and I spent $200 on his brother's wedding. We spent $80 for a friend's wedding this last Feb. It varies.

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..................
