Depending on how well you actually know her, $25-50.
I would say $20-40 depending on how close you all are.
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.
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
I typically spend $30-40 on a shower gift. I tend to prefer giving a bigger wedding gift than shower gift.
I would say an appopriate about is no more than $40.00
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!
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).
I normally spend about $50. New England
Good luck
Since this is not a relative or direct friend, I would say $30 is fine.
