'We give up to £400': How much should you gift at a wedding?

Being a wedding guest can be expensive - there's travel, accommodation, you might even treat yourself to a new outfit - then there's another cost to factor in: the gift.

It's now commonplace for invitations to read: "Your presence is enough, but if you would like to give us a gift, please donate to our honeymoon fund."

But replacing the traditional gift list with bank transfer details, can leave guests with a new etiquette dilemma: how much are you expected to give?

Wedding list service Prezola says it has seen a rise in couples inviting guests to pay for specific experiences rather than a generic cash pot. It says the average guest contribution is £116.

But expectations can vary widely, depending on everything from closeness and culture to the cost of attending.

Johnny, 34, says he and his wife Lottie contribute between £250 and £400 depending on how close they are to the bride and groom and what they can afford at the time.

At his own wedding, most close friends gave between £100 and £200, one couple gave £400 and they received £2,000 from Johnny's dad.

They used it as spending money on their 17-day honeymoon in Canada which Johnny says they'd saved for "because it's not worth the risk of relying on donations".

Hannah Rose-Thorn, 30, says she "always gives £50 in a card" and found that the average contribution to her own honeymoon fund was the same.

"We mentioned money on our invitations and also created print-out QR codes for people to scan at the bar," she says.

She received £3,000 which will be used as spending money for the honeymoon which she had already paid for.

According to Hitched, a UK-based wedding planning website, the average UK couple spends around £4,000 on their honeymoon.
