Spend no more than $50. If you have a group of friends go in together, spend between $75 and $100.
I'd recommend if you go it alone, get a gift card for an odd amount between $25 and $50-- maybe $35. Package it with a nice card and mail it to her ahead of the wedding. Then you're all done and don't have to feel the burden of bringing a gift to the wedding. If you get roped into attending a shower, you can weasel your way out of an expsensive gift by presenting the bride with a gaggle of inexpensive general kitchen utensils (corn-cob holders, wine charms, etc.) or you can make a "Newlywed's Night In" basket inexpensively with a Blockbuster gift card and some (kosher) munchies. Or give a giftcard in a smaller denomination (like $25) and a bouquet of flowers.
We women really get burned with gift giving for these weddings.... How many gifts do I have to give for every engagement party, shower, group shower, brunch, luncheon and wedding? It's crazy!
If I ever marry, I plan to elope.
