How much I spend on a wedding gift really depends for me. I try to look at all the factors - ie., shower, bacholorette party, actual wedding, how well I know the couple. All the weddings that I've gone to for my sorority sisters in the past few years - we're all pretty recent graduates so getting married just seems to be in the water (unless you're me and single), so life is starting to get pretty pricy.
Most of my friends have all been registered somewhere - Target, younkers, Crate & Barrel, Bed, Bath & Beyond, marshalls - so I generally go off the lists just because I figure it's stuff that they want and need. One of my good friends is very adamently against the lists, she gets most of the couples a nicely engraved 8 X 10 silver picture frame or a vase. I generally spend low end $25 all the way up to around $75. And by that I mean per gift - so if I go to the shower and the wedding I spend at least $25 per gift. I've only ever brought a guest to one of the weddings and I factored in for that when I purchased that respective gift.
