How much do you guys think is a good gift for a wedding? Friends for a couple of years are getting married and have an all cash registry. Was thinking 150 but wasn't sure if there is a normal practice

If it's a close friend then $300+. $200 is good. $100 is pretty cheap honestly...

Depends on how close you are to them, if you’re bringing a date, and how fancy/nice the reception is. Norm is typically $50 for acquaintances and up. I’d say $100/ per person is pretty good on average for a friend

assume you are attending the wedding? Is it local? If so, $300 for a couple going. If you have to fly you could knock it down to $200.
