I'm sure in different parts of the country and different countries spend different amounts.
We have two upcoming wedding to attend.
The first is this Friday and it is the youngest son of his first cousin. We see his first cousin I would say maybe 8 times a year -their son about 4 times a year at various gatherings. I do not think I've met the bride to be.
The second wedding is in three weeks and is the oldest son of Neil's high school and college friend who stood up in our wedding. We haven't seen this boy in over 20 years and have no idea of the bride. I think we are invited due to being old friends.
So I'm planning on not spending as much as I would if it would be a niece or nephew-about 2/3 of the usual amount.
What do you do if attending wedding of friends children or more distant relatives??
