150 (75 per head) for friend/cousin/work colleague. My take on it is you try and cover your meal cost.

200 (100 per head) for a close friend. 250 for a sibling. With close friend/sibling I try give them a little extra present.

After me own wedding next summer I'll be taking Gaz's approach when deciding what to give.

€100 a head seems to be the going rate.Close friend/Family Id usually give a fair bit more.

Anyone who has a wedding list is a full kunt and doesn't deserve a thing imo.

Wedding lists have always been incredibly helpful when buying for weddings. I much prefer giving gifts that people will use and need rather than giving cash which can be a little impersonal, or a item which is not useful.

Usually give between €100 to €150 depending who's getting married. Last wedding I was at was my cousin and they were tight arses not giving people +1s etc so just gave them €50 which covered my meal in the hotel they had it in

People who have wedding lists are generally massive kunts alright.


Absolute kunts indeed. Wife insisted on doing a list as we're inviting lots from the USA and yanks expect a list. I refused to put the list card in any invites going to Irish people. Ended up with a few grand to spend in Brown Thomas and I have absolutely no idea what the missus bought with it.

When we got married 2 years ago €150/couple was the standard, €200/couple for closer friends.

Hell no. If there's a work whip round for him just throw in a few bob.

Getting shaken down for 150 for a wedding you're not going to

If people are only invited to the evening party of a wedding do they normally bring a present/money
If so how much?
