General rule of thumb is give enough to cover your meal. I usually give $100, which is more than enough to cover my meal regardless of plated service or buffet. If I were to bring a date, I'd consider increasing my gift.

Its meal plus some. You should also consider your seat at the table, not just the meal.

I think you should give what you can afford. Also, if I’m going to a super expensive destination wedding than I probably won’t spend as much on the gift

I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.
