Re: how much to give for an engagement party?

I recently went to two engagement parties for close friends. I bought them each a gift for about $30 and gave them $50 in a card.

So I spend about $80-$85 on each couple.

Then what do you give for the wedding if you give that much for an e-party? I usually give $100-$150.

I am going to a wedding later in the year and giving $300 (from the family but only I am going). I thought that was good. I

For an e-party I usually give about $100 - $150 but we honestly haven't been to many.
