We received a wedding invitation from someone we hardly know.
DH works with her father. I met her once, briefly. Most likely our paths will never cross again.
But my point is, she did send us an invitation and I would like to send them a card with something. I don't want to be cheap, but at the same time, not go overboard. We will not be attending the wedding.
I would appreciate any thoughts on how much for a cash wedding gift these days.
TIA -- Tabby

If your husband works with her father and I was not attending the wedding, I would send a minimum of $100.00.

If you're not attending and you and DH are not close with the family, $50 is appropriate.

I wouldn't send them more than $50 in either cash or a gift card. Find out where she is registered.
Frankly, sounds like a gift invite to me.

Whether or not you attend the wedding should not affect the amount you spend or give as a wedding gift.
Give or spend what you can afford.
In our area $50 would be a frugal amount.

Really? Here in the Northeast it would be quite acceptable for someone you don't socialize with. But, of course, perhaps not if you're one of the Trumps.

I think wedding gift dollar amounts vary around the country. Here in CT, I don't think you could get away with less than $100 as a non-attendee.
(I disagree with the poster who said it doesn't matter if you are going or not. You can difinitely give less if you aren't attending.)
BTW, it does sound like a "gift invitation." However, there is no graceful (or cheap) way out of that.
