I agree. A good friend of mine came alone to my daughters wedding in Oct. His gift was $100.00. (He certainly could afford to give more.) His son got married in June in Ontario. He had a party locally last Fri. nite for those who didn't make the trip to Canada. My daughter informed me that I should give $100.00 per person. Me & the g/f attended, so I gave them 100 x 2. Around these parts, I guess the rule of thumb these days is 100 a head minimum.
(Of course, if he had given my daughter $300 or $500, I would have matched it without giving it a second thought. He's a good friend.)
