What's your gut saying?

A wedding guest has sparked an online debate over how much money to give to a bride and groom.

A lot of people were saying between €50-100, depending on what you can afford.

While many said that it also depends on if you're invited to the full whack of the wedding or not.

Some were suggesting that going down to €30 was acceptable, saying only going to €100 if you're "flush".

Some were shocked at going as high as €100, saying that "That's a months gas and electric or couple weeks shopping for some. 100 could break a family if it's expected."

While some were complaining they didn't get more, many were criticising that attitude saying the day shouldn't be about that.

One person wrote: "It amazes me the amount of people saying they were hurt that they didn't get much or anything from their guests!"

She said she was "too busy having fun with the people I wanted around me on my wedding day."

So, what do you think??

What would be the factors you'd take into account when deciding on a figure?

And would you be put out if you didn't get a similar amount on your big day??
