Group gifts for brides getting married or the wedding couple themselves are a trend gaining popularity. Sometimes, pooling your spending budgets together and presenting a larger gift or a larger gift box filled with lots of goodies can be extra special for the bride to be or the couple.
It is customary for bridesmaids and groomsmen to give gifts to the bride or groom or wedding couple for a shower and/or the wedding. Joining together as a group to purchase and give a gift can be a great way to gift a larger gift.
Budgets are always up to you! What you feel comfortable spending or pitching in for the group gift is perfect. But, we will tell you that group gift contributions can vary depending on your relationship to the bride or couple.
This is not a specific rule that must be followed, but a good budget idea can be $50-$75 per person for co-workers, $75-$100 per person for friends or relatives, and $100-$150 per person for bridal party, close friends and close family.
