 TITLE: How Much Should You Spend on a Wedding Gift? CONTENT: Wedding planning website The Knot reported last year that the average amount spent on a wedding gift in 2019 was $120. While this average obviously isn't a universal requirement, it could provide an idea of how much you may want to spend on a wedding gift—and how much might be too much.\nThe Knot goes further by breaking down the percentages you may want to assign to gifts for the couple:\n*   60% of your total allocation for the wedding gift\n*   20% of your total allocation for the wedding shower gift\n*   20% of your total allocation for the engagement gift\nApplying that math, if your entire budget for the couple is $300, you'd spend $180 on the wedding gift, $60 on the wedding shower gift and $60 on the engagement gift. The Knot recommends that if you're not invited to the wedding shower, you might shift the extra 20% toward the wedding gift.\nSo, how much is too much to spend on a wedding gift? While there's technically no maximum amount, be sure to stay within your budget and weigh your relationship with the couple. Even if you aren't very close with the couple, consider the cost of putting on a wedding and look at your gift as a way to thank them for the invite. END
