Poll: How much money do you give as a wedding present?

Have your say.

IT’S THE MIDDLE of summer, which also means wedding season is in full swing.

The summer months are the most popular time for weddings in Ireland, which prompts the age-old question: How much should I give as a wedding present?

Depending on your financial situation and how well you know the couple your answer may vary, but a UK survey earlier this year found that 30% of people said you should pay £100 (€118) if it’s someone you’re close to.

So today we’re asking: How much money do you give as a wedding present (per person)?


Poll Results:

€100 - €149 (5680)
€150 - €199 (5141)
Over €200 (4983)
€50 - €99 (1309)
I prefer to give an actual present (937)
