    Since this is not a relative or direct friend, I would say $30 is fine.

    I normally spend about $50. New England

    Good luck

    My bridal shower was held a few weeks ago. I received gifts ranging from small amounts (like maybe $15-20 to more than $100). My personal amount is $30 if I don’t know them well, $50 or more if I’m close to them (a sister, cousin, or good friend).

    No more than you can afford!! I don’t think any more than $50 for sure. And you can do something cute with a smaller budget like go to Michaels or a craft store nearby and get a medium sized wicker basket. Get a set of measuring spoons from virtually anywhere, some kitchen towels and a little bag of some fancy looking banana bread mix (or something!) and/or other cute little kitchen things for the BTB! If you have a smaller budget, just get crafty and work on presentation and a real nice card!

    Good luck!

    I typically spend $30-40 on a shower gift. I tend to prefer giving a bigger wedding gift than shower gift.

    For me, it depends on how close we are. Examples:

    My husband’s brother’s wedding: $100

    A casual aquaintance that I don’t really like much: $40

    A girl’s bridal luncheon who is the fiancee of a friend of my husbands (we are not very close but we are friendly and she has been to my wedding and 1 baby shower of mine): $100, only because she’s been to 2 of my events already and our husbands are very good friends.

    In your situation, i’d say $50

    About $30 or so.

    Remember, the shower gift is just a regular gift, probably off the registry. You but the expensive stuff (like that Le Cruset pot the bride has on her registry) as the Wedding Gift.

    I would say $20-40 depending on how close you all are.

    Depending on how well you actually know her, $25-50.
