How Much to Spend on a Wedding Gift?

That’s a loaded question whose answer depends on a huge number of variables.

How much do people usually spend on wedding gifts for a close friend? I am in her bridal party and will be bringing a guest. I'd like to give her something nice without going overboard since I'll already be spending a lot as a bridesmaid. About how much should I spend?

Of course, everyone has an opinion, and as of right now, there are 100 answers.

The asker chose this as the best answer:

When I was the maid of honor (with a guest), I spent $300 (check). When I am just a guest, I usually spend $100 for just me or $200 for both of us. But, I think $200 is sufficient for you and a guest.
I know it's a lot, but you know it's going to be expensive when you accept being a bridesmaid and you shouldn't scrimp on her gift just because it's been expensive!

Just remember, she'll do it for you one day!

But the other 99 answers are interesting as well.
