How much should I spend on a wedding gift?

$75–150 for a friend, $50 for coworkers, $150–300 for close family. Attending the wedding doesn't change the amount much — you're not paying for your plate.

Follow-up questions

Cash or off the registry?

Registry if there is one; cash otherwise. Cash is standard and preferred in many cultures.

Can I be late with a gift?

You have one year traditionally, though sooner is better.
