For the weddings I'm in, the brides seem to really be hoping to get some of their china or crystal items.

As a boke college student, I can't spend much.

For wedding #1 I went to this summer, I gave them $36 (I couldn't afford more and wasn't planning on going, in the Jewish religion,multiples of $18 are always good). I'm friendly with both of them but not super close.

Had a sister get married and I (along with most of my sisters) couldn't go because I couldn't afford to go to Israel. I spent $50 on the gift, mainly a few of the smaller items from her registry, and about $30 on a shower gift.

For my sister' wedding, she got a ton of stuff off of her registry from my mom and grandmother's friends and cash from almost everyone else. Although my grandmother's friends some of them gave some really nice checks (up to $5,000!). My 4 friends that were invited, two went in together for a gift from the registry for about $75, 1 gave $36 and one gave nothing, using the excuse that there were to many weddings he had to attend that summer. No reason why he couldn't give $36 at all, seeing as how he spends more then that on a night out!
