@bargainsgirl ,

$200 is a very nice gift!

[Skyegirl21]

I understood if you aren't going, you aren't obligated to send a gift, plus you don't know them!  So $200 is extremely generous, in my opinion!

200 is more than generous for someone you never see and would not go to the event

100 perhaps, depending

@bargainsgirl ..............Send them what you want.  If they dont appreciate it then so be it.  IMO gifting has gone way to far in expectations.

That is way too generous since you're not attending the wedding. Many sites say to give what you can afford, nothing is right or wrong. It depends on your finances, how close you are to the family, are you attending, etc.?

As everyone else has stated, $200 is very generous and I'm sure will be much appreciated.

Like you, my husband and I paid for our honeymoon and our house ourselves.  The money we received as gifts was greatly appreciated and went to necessities, but we didn't specify what we "needed" the money for.

 I don't know why, but it really irks me when brides and grooms request money for their honeymoon or house fund.  Just request money and leave it at that.  Really grinds my gears.  Hahahaha

$200 is very generous.  It's what I would give if I knew this nephew and had real relationship with him.  In your situation, where I don't have a relationship with him, I'd gift $100.

@bargainsgirl   IMO, $200 is a very nice and appropriate gift.

I would be overjoyed to receive such a generous gift. I'm sure they will be as well!

$200 is generous and appropriate.
