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.
When it comes to general gift etiquette though, try not to spend less than $50 on a wedding gift no matter your relationship with the couple. Follow our suggested spending categories below, organized by your relationship with the bride or groom: Close Friend or Close Relative: $150+. Friend or Relative: $100-$125.
