OK so although my life at the moment is full of my own wedding plans, in recent years I haven't been to any weddings, in fact thinking about it none since I was a little girl.
So yesterday we had an invite through from one of my OH's childhood friends who moved to Scotland when they were in their young teens. Now they have stayed in touch via email, facebook etc but have only seen each probably twice in ten years.
Well the wedding is in January and we have always intended to go so I booked it off work months ago and I sent the RSVP this morning.
Now the question, they have asked for money for their honeymoon, which I have no problem with at all. I would sooner them have something they want but what would be an acceptable sort of amount? Is there sort of a base line I should base it on.
Obviously you have all the usual wedding costs like outfits etc, but also the travelling 6 hours plus and the hotel accomodation, I'm not going to deduct this off the wedding present but just want to start budgeting as we have six weddings next year and our own.
I know what most of you will say, base it on what you can afford, I'm not planning on going in to debt, just curious what other people consider thats all!
TIA x
