I think that your personal ability to spend would trump all of these concerns, but not everyone is as forgiving as me.

Definitely - you never should go beyond your means, and if the couple doesn't understand that, then that's their problem.
On the other hand, as was noted, if they're serving burgers and it's BYOB, don't feel like you have to spend much at all on the gift.
