    Going to wedding in two weeks, they have a list with a shop u just make a contribution to rather than buying actual present. How much are u supposed to spend, is €100 enough to give from me on my own? Loadsa couples I know are going but don't want to ask them how much they're putting in. Cheers!

    €100 for you alone is more than enough and is what I'd give.

    Saying that, I hate gift lists/contributions requests and am a spitefull bitch so would instantly reduce to €50, just cos they asked.

    €100 on your own sounds perfect, if not too generous in these times. It's much better when they have a list; at least you know that whatever you get them they will want.

    It's far, far easier to have those lists.

    I am getting married in April and we would be very grateful for €100 as i think anyone getting married (the cost of a wedding these days) would greatly appreciate.

    I did at first thing it was a bit rude to have a list but when you already live together and have done for a while, most couples have what they need, there is only so many bales of towels, sets of knives etc 1 house needs. I think a mixture is good, have an option for gift vouchers, inexpensive to more expensive presents. We havent done a list yet, but everyone is always asking what we want and are we having a list...
