The amount you spend is dependent upon your budget and your relationship with the wedding couple or parents-to-be. Here are some averages or general guidelines.

Wedding gifts:
Young person with limited budget – $50
Not a close friend or a distant relative – $50 – $100
Close friend or relative $100 – $200, more in urban areas

Bridal Shower gift:
Less than the wedding gift — $30 to $75

Baby Shower gift:
On average – $30 to $50
Family member baby shower gift — $50 to $100

What people spend can vary greatly by region. You can use the above as a guideline, but customs in your family or area may be higher or lower.
