Let’s start with a non-judgmental question:
How much do people give?
SurveyMonkey conducted a survey to answer that question.
The answer – reported by FiveThrytEight — depended on 3 factors:
(1) Whether you’re a high-roller or just skating by …
(2) Your relationship to the couple
(3) Whether you drag along a plus-one guest or not.
For example: On average, high-rollers who don’t bring a guest give immediate family members $500, extended family and close friends $200, and “just” friends $100.
The median gift for folks who don’t bring a guest is $100 for immediately family and $50 for everybody else.

How much do those antes go up if folks bring a guest?
