Wedding Gift Amount
I’m looking for advice on how much to gift when I’m traveling for a wedding. I’m attending my cousin’s wedding, so it is family, but we aren’t close. It’s over a holiday weekend and will be flying across the country - me and my partner will be spending almost $2,000 in total to attend. I’m now in my 30s and doing fine financially but am not a high earner - mid 100s in a VHCOL. Am I cheap to give $100 per person? So $200 total? In the past I’ve given $300 for a close friend and a bit more for a best friend. When another cousin got married a few years ago I gave $200 total and felt like maybe it was a bit low, but factored in the cost of flights and hotels in a major city. Travel has gotten very expensive and I also feel like wedding culture has gotten a bit out of control compared to when I got married in 2018. Am I just overthinking this?
