Nothing your partner should give a gift for both of you.
I agree. If I’m the guest I shouldn’t be expected to give. I probably would offer something to help cover my plate but only if I have the funds to do so
Four hundred twenty dollars and sixty nine cents

Let your partner decide who actually knows the people getting married.

You wouldn’t give a gift together as a couple? Maybe ask your date if you can contribute to their gift?
If I wasn’t going in on the present with my date. I wouldn’t send them anything. They won’t remember me or that I didn’t get them anything

Seems like a good time to talk to your partner about how costs are divided when attending weddings. My partner and I decided that we split travel and hotel costs (aka you pay for yourself), but the person who knows the couple pays for the gift. If it’s a mutual friend the we split. This will help feeling guilty that you need to contribute and prevent having this conversation with every wedding. Hope you have fun at the wedding!

I give $100 as my share and my SO matches or exceeds that. Plus 1’s are still costly for the bride and groom. Stingy mentality like “plus ones don’t need to pay” is why there exist [awful] weddings that don’t allow plus ones.
