Ok here's an addon to the original question....

I am a bridesmaid for an old friend in a few months. I earn a modest living as do most people just out of college. I have already spent 300 dollars on my dress, 100 on my shoes, was forced into 100 for the shower gift by the mother (I had planned to spend 50), 300 for my plane ticket, 150ish to rent a car for the weekend, in addition to a variety of other expenses like parking at the airport and putting my dog in the kennel.

So let's see
300
100
100
300
150
+??
= 950 dollars (almost one whole paycheck)

I know this all comes along with the honor of being asked to be a bridesmaid so don't bash me for that one.... but I just wasn't expecting at 300 dollar dress and 100 dollar shoes.

So my question... before I head into the poor house or have to give up my beautiful new car that I have worked so hard for...

What do you think is the appropriate amount for a bridesmaid to give?????
