Hi all,
Looking for thoughts / advice for what is a reasonable gift to give the couple as a Maid of Honour, given that I've had to pay for everything related to my role in this wedding myself (including dress & alterations, hair and make-up (although I'll prob do that myself) travel from quite a way away for both the hen and the wedding, accommodation and also quite a bit on the hen do for costumes and decorations). When they first asked me, they mentioned their budget was tight, but didn't say they wouldn't even be contributing to the costs for a dress for me.
Don't get me wrong I am honoured to be part of my friend's big day like this and see her marry the love of her life. But all in, I reckon I've spent over £500 on their wedding. Would it therefore be reasonable to give them something like a low-cost gift voucher, rather than a more significant gift?
