Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period.
Recent survey findings from RetailMeNot show that this season's wedding guests plan to spend $195 on a sibling's wedding gift, $159 on a best friend, $63 on a coworker and $45 on an acquaintance. Yet other sources say somewhere in the ballpark of $75-100 for a coworker, and $100-125 for a friend is appropriate.
And while that can bust the budget of many a couple, itâs also getting costlier to attend a wedding. The average wedding guest will spend $673 in 2015, compared with $592 last year, a 14 percent increase. (That is nearly double the $339 average gift in 2012.)
