i am thinking of giving my collegue a gift card for her wedding, so i was wondering how much shall i give. she is not among my close friends, and the fact is i only knew her for a month. do you guys have any idea?

50 $ give her cash, so that they can use as they want.

$50 giftcard as a wedding prezzie? oh no, that's cheap!
go to best buyers or stores where they give you ideas about buying gifts! that helps a lot too.

damn he hardly knows her man ...... what do you expect .... a car???

Give $50 but put it in an envelope ( nepal style). Ask your other friends to do the same ( put whatever they are giving i.e. cash/gift card etc in an envelope).

in my opinion, gift card is better than hard cash. and how much ...well it depends on how much do u think is reasonable. ghati herera hadd nilnu parryoo ni....

LOL ruchi i second that!

giftcard is so much better than just handin cash off, you know! :O

but to me cash seems better, it looks odd but will your options open wheather to keep it or spend it however u like.

sorry * will keep your options open

raazstone,
my recommendation : NO CASH NO GIFT CARD

CHEQUE in an ENVELOPE
reason: you do not have to fear who gets it. [ a lot of time cashes changes hands ]
you would know where you spend your money
she would also remember that you gave her that much because she has to go that extra mile to deposit it
Gift Card: restricts them. They have to spend it at a particular shop. unless you go and buy MC, VISA or AMEX gift card. They might have been putting off some big purchases to make after the wedding. Who knows.. . Cash/Form of Cash is better.

BUT MAKE SURE YOUR CHEQUE DOES NOT BOUNCE BACK. THEN SHE IS GOING TO HATE YOU FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE

cheque in an envelope seems a good idea. Thanks alot guys.........

.

I have no idea. Shall be catching up with this thread to look for ideas too! :)

A gift of cash (of course in a nice envelope!) is a gift of total freedom!
