How much to spend on a wedding gift???

[SteveT]

The day bit of the wedding was for family with children, and the evening was for friends ravers and snorters of substances.

?50 sounds good but some I spent more on, depending on how far down the list of items was remaining, as only the costly items were left, some I would leave a cheque to go towards their dishwasher or whatever.

I thought the thing with a wedding is that you get a dishwasher as part of the deal.*

I wonder if your chosen one reads the postings left by her beloved,

my bet is that she does, if she is like the women I have known she rifles through your pockets too before she washes or takes them to the cleaners.

Disclaimers count for nought, whatever you write will be used to load up her blunderbuss which she will point at you during the very next argument and put you in your place, but if she doesn't, you have yourself a rare spouse indeed.
