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.
Consider your relationship to the couple and spend within your budget. If you're having trouble deciding on the appropriate amount of money to spend on a gift, don't sweat it. The type of gift you give and how much you spend generally depends on your relationship to the bride and groom. According to Mary Dann, of Wedding and Party Coordinators, If you are part of the family, or even a close family friend, then $75 to$125 per invited guest would be the suggested dollar amount.
