How much should I spend on a wedding gift for the bride and groom? Do I have to purchase an extravagant gift or would a smaller gift be acceptable? Peggy Post, a leading etiquette expert, suggests basing the amount you spend on a wedding gift on your budget as well as the affection you have for the bride and groom. If you are close to the bride or groom you might consider spending more than you would spend on a gift for an acquaintance. Additionally, it is perfectly acceptable to split the cost of a high-ticket item with another guest(s). Cash or a check is also an acceptable gift. Ultimately when selecting a wedding gift keep in mind that you should spend whatever you feel comfortable with.
How do you determine the amount you will spend on a wedding gift?

Guests should avoid wearing white to a wedding. Guests should also avoid trying to outshine the bride. So what should a guest wear? According to The Washington Post’s Summer Fashion & Beauty Guide ”take your dress cues from the invitation - if it’s playful, feel free to wear color and pattern. A more formal invite calls for more subtlety. Finally, a black cocktail dress never goes out of style. To spiff things up, pile on some jewelry and wear frilly shoes.” [Read the article]

Lara of Lara Swanson Photo wrote a great article on budgeting for your wedding.
Additionally, couples may be surprised at how reasonable it is to hire a Professional Wedding Planner. Some couples may not budget for a Wedding Planner or think that they can not afford a Wedding Planner. Wedding Planners can save a couple time through the planner’s knowledge of reputable vendors. Also a professional Wedding Planner will find the most cost effective vendor based upon the couple’s particular needs all the while ensuring that the couple is getting the best value for their dollar. A Wedding Planner can also potentially save the couple money in the long run due to the professional working relationships the planner and vendors have established or through utilizing the planner’s negotiating skills.
