The Bridal Association of America quoted that the average cost of wedding invitations is $659. Wedding Stats has quoted the average being $441, or a range somewhere between $381 and $441 during 2015.
A typical wedding gift is $100 per person ($200 per couple). You'll give more if you're better off or if the bride or groom is family. This is also in addition to any shower or other gifts. Of course, not everybody gives the same amount.eddings are huge and so are the gifts (average gift is about $250 for an average salary couple/ $500 if your really well off).
