 I need suggestions.
What is a decent amount (in euros) to give as a wedding gift to a close friend? I don't want to look "cheap", and i don't want to overwhelm, but i do want to make a decent, slightly above normal gift.
thanks,
GG |

GG this surely is more to do with what you can afford and what you take delight in giving her so that the "giving" is enjoyable and not just a duty.
Sometimes people appreciate receiving less as any thoughts of future obligations are minimised. Back to "It's the thought that counts".  |
