    Hi All,
    Not sure if this is the best place for this question, but anyway...
    I have friends getting married over Christmas and I won't be able to attend the wedding. Just wondering what the normal standard of wedding gift is in this case?
    Thanks.

    Get them a sorry I can't be there but there's always the divorce, card. Couples getting married these days have turned into greedy whores and usually won't accept anything other than money and they expect quiet a bit too.

    Do they have a gift list in arnotts or anything? Give them vouchers for their local shopping centre, €100 is plenty

    Yeah I had this problem. Couldn't go but bought the gift off their list anyway as they were close personal friends. Depends on the relationship IMO but €100 seems to be the going rate these days.

    I'd spend the same on the present whether I'm going or not. I'd spend more on a very close friend / family member.
