How much cash for wedding?

Just give what you're happy giving and can afford! If they know you well enough they will know money is tight, and they shouldn't expect anything from anyone! We're asking for honeymoon contributions for our wedding, and I'm hoping that everyone will give at least £10 but that's all I'm hoping for, anything more is a bonus!

I generally give £50 if I'm going to the day and £30 if I'm going to the evening only. However that is from myself and my partner and we both have full time jobs.

I'm sure your friend will completely understand if you give less - don't bankrupt yourself on account of it. If I was in your position, I would probably put in around £20.

We are asking for money instead of gifts for our wedding, but I fully accept that plenty of people won't be able to give much - if anything at all - and that's fine, the main thing is that I want my friends and family to be there on the day to celebrate with me.

The other thing you could do is get a nice picture frame and put in a picture of her, her chap and their baby. I know they've asked for cash not gifts, but I feel like that is a thoughtful gift, and I'd be more than happy with that instead.

Hope this helps! x

I think £10, £15 or £20 (depending on what you feel you can afford) would be fine. Since you are a student, I think people understand that. At the last family wedding I went to, my parents, and aunts and uncles were putting in anything from £30 to £100 – but they are close family, middle aged and earning good money, so it's a totally different case! I don't think people would expect that much from a young student friend. The last friend's wedding I went to I put in £10 because that was all I could afford at the time.
