    Well, you are spending 2500 to go to the wedding so your not to por, Its normanlly min. 50 per guest so about 100.00 for the both of you. Well, do what you can affoed to do.

    Give a gift you can afford, and be thoughtful regarding what they like. If you follow those simple rules, they’ll like it because you thought of them/about what you were buying and not just buying something that screamed “wedding gift”. That way, it really won’t matter if you paid ten bucks or an hundred bucks for it.

    Whatever you can afford. I’m sure they will know that it’s a huge expense for the guests to travel, and they know you are in school with no income other than (I’m assuming) student loans. They may not have registered because they don’t expect the guests to pay all that money AND buy them a gift. Have your BF question his brother if there’s something they need. I’m sure his brother will be honest and either say “we need cash” or “nothing, we just want you guys to be there with us”.

    Where you’re college students, I would give whatever you can afford, and your bf’s brother and his wife should appreciate whatever you give them. AND, if you seriously can’t give them any amount (due to spending $2500 to physically be there) then I would simply give them a nice card, and be done with it. Gifts are voluntary, and should be determined by the giver, NOT the recipient.

    Have a nice trip! And congrats to your bf’s brother!

    Just because they didn’t register, doesn’t mean they are expecting, or should expect cash.  Go ahead and get them a gift if it’s simpler for you then cash.
