Money - this is perhaps the most versatile gift that many give to the wedding or name day. A gift in the form of a certain amount of money can be presented to close people or friends for their significant celebration. How much money to give to the wedding? What amount will please the newlyweds? Let's discuss together the details and nuances of this issue.
When is it worth giving money?
Going to the wedding of a friend or brother, many decide to give just the money. Of course, such a gift is liked by many newlyweds, because this is a great opportunity to purchase something for yourself at home after the wedding. Many young people even warn all guests in advance that they should not spend money on various gifts, but it is better to present an envelope with a certain amount. At many weddings, even special boxes are set at the groom's table with the bride: everyone approaches the newlyweds, congratulates them and puts their envelope in the box.
A gift in the form of a certain amount of money is always a universal gift. But many guests think about whether such a gift would be appropriate, whether it is convenient to give money. Of course, such a gift will always be relevant if you know for sure that young people do not earn much money and after the celebration will live separately from their parents. Then this gift will be very helpful.
You can also make a choice in favor of money in the event that you do not know what to give to your brother or nephew. In addition, you can give a certain amount in the event that you just recently found out about the celebration and you simply do not have time to choose a worthy and practical gift.
There are certain rules of etiquette that tell about who can be presented with such a gift, and who is not worth it. For example, if it is a wedding of a sister, niece or friend, girlfriend, then such a gift would be appropriate. But if the chief or the boss invited you to his celebration, it would be better to give an envelope with a certain amount of money to give an original memorable gift.
It is also not customary to give money in the event that the newlyweds are much older than you or the young from very wealthy families.
What should be the amount?
In that case, if you nevertheless decided to present the money, then it is worth deciding how much you can give to the young. Too large a sum can put the young in an awkward position, and too little can offend a loved one. Therefore, it is worthwhile to find, as they say, a middle ground, especially since sometimes the amount depends on who the gift is meant for.
If you are invited to a celebration to a colleague, neighbor or your friend, that is, a certain rule that will help you to present the desired amount as a gift. First you need to know about how much the festive dinner costs one person. It is very easy to learn, because you know exactly which restaurant you were invited to. The necessary information can be found on the phone or on the site of the institution. Double this amount and get the desired result.
If you are invited to the wedding of your best friend or friend or your close friends invited you to the wedding of your children, then a completely different scheme is needed. As a rule, newlyweds are no more than thirty years old, and sometimes no more than twenty.If the newlyweds are still studying or are already finishing their studies at any university, then this suggests that they do not earn a living by themselves or they are only taking the first steps towards acquiring equity capital. In this case, you should give young people an average amount, for example, five thousand rubles. On average, they give from three to five thousand, as you need to take into account their own financial capabilities.
The largest amounts are given by close relatives of the newlyweds: grandmothers, grandfathers, uncles, aunts, etc. In the event that this is a celebration of a close relative, you should give at least five thousand rubles. The maximum depends only on individual financial capabilities. In any case, you should give a sum for which after the couple can buy something from small household appliances.
If it is not possible to give a large amount of money, you can unite with other relatives. For example, both grandmothers can present one envelope in which there will be a decent amount. Or uncle, aunt and cousins, sisters can give a single envelope from the whole family.
If you bought a gift and want to present an envelope as an additional gift, then it will be enough to invest in it from three to five thousand.
Parents of the bride and groom may well present a more substantial amount for the festive celebration of their children. As a rule, parents now give either money, or certificates for certain purchases, or vouchers for a honeymoon trip. In the event that you want to give your son or daughter something from furniture or large household appliances, it is better to present this amount to them so that they can independently choose a gift according to their taste.
How to present a gift in an original way?
