Wedding gifts are always a hot topic here on weddingbee - how much you should spend, giving cash gifts, whether you can buy off registry, etc.

I have a couple of general rules I follow when it comes to wedding gifts.  First, how much I spend depends on how close I am to the couple.  And though I typically buy something on the couple’s registry or give a gift card (to Manhattan couples with limited space), for very close friends I have definitely have gone off registry.  When it comes to family, I always gift cash since it’s the cultural norm among Asians.

What are your guidelines when it comes to giving a wedding gift?  Please share by adding to our wiki of the day!
