The big question first: How much money should we spend on wedding gifts? It definitely depends on how well you know the couple. If a member is in your immediate family, the trimmed mean1 gift spending was $147, and if theyâre extended family, that drops to $71. If thereâs a close friend in the couple, the average spending was $82, and for someone you consider just a friend, the average amount given was an even $50.
The average amount spent on gifts this year will be about $109 per wedding, but nearly twice that if the bride or groom is a close family member. And, of course, it's not just guests that are dropping serious cash on the Big Day. According to The Knot's 2013 Real Weddings report, marrying couples are now shelling out $30,000 on average for their weddings and spending an average of $220 per guest.
