Brooke Bowman Boone’s wedding brought joy but also a surprising lack of gifts from guests, as 27 people attended without presenting gifts. A trend of confusion exists among wedding guests regarding appropriate gift amounts, with opinions varying widely. Some feel that $50 cash is adequate, while others suggest gifts should not be less than $500. Experts note that the evolution of weddings and the current inflation contribute to this confusion, complicating traditional gifting norms.
"It was shocking. We couldn't even receive a card? That would have been nice. It just felt like a slap in the face."
"Some commenters say $50 cash is sufficient, while others say your gift - whether in the form of money or a present - should cost no less than $500."
"The uncertainty partially stems from the modern 'inflation of the entire wedding process.'"
"While some of us were shelling out $300 cash alongside registry presents, others opted for $100 bills tucked into cards."
