How much cash should I give to one of my employees as a present for his wedding?

This man has been working for 3 years under the group I manage, and he is a great worker. After he announced his wedding to everyone, he said that he preferred cash over any other gift. I am kind of tight on my budget because I am looking to buy a house. I was thinking to give him a gift of no more than $100, but after hearing his preferences I feel pressured to give him cash and I feel awkward giving him the $100 because it may be seem as too little.


Is $100 too little for a wedding present?

I would say if you go alone it would be enough. If you are bringing someone I would add another 100. You are the manager :)


Other coworker..100 is plenty!
Reply:Perfectly fine.


Are you going to his wedding? If not, the gift is fine.





Now, if you are going to the wedding, the dinner could cost at least $30 each and if you and your wife go that's $60 for food and $40 as a gift.
Reply:How about enough for a divorce lawyer?
Reply:that's a helluva gift. $100 is usually what i give to close friends and family.
Reply:$50 gift card is more than enough .
Reply:$100 is not too little. It's the norm.
Reply:Give him what you can afford. For my wedding some people only gave us 25 bucks, but we appreciated it because we knew they were thinking about us.
Reply:100$
Reply:When my husband and I were getting ready to get married, we both worked for the same company ... and our employer gave use each $100. We were 'very very poor' but even if this man makes a huge 'salary' that $100 is a very 'traditional' amount to give as a wedding gift. Buy a nice card, and put it in the envelope with that, and put their 'married name' on the outside.
Reply:$100 is plenty. If giving cash makes you uncomfortable, give him a gift card. You can get a VISA gift card that can be used anywhere or a card to a particular store. My personal opinion is that asking for cash is tacky. Registering for gifts at several stores allows people to purchase something expensive if they choose or a less expensive gift. Gifts are just that, a gift, not a request from the bride or groom. Don't feel pressured into doing something that does not come from your heart.
Reply:Take the 100.00 and buy a gift card. Walgreens drug stores have all sorts of them I bought my Mother an American Express Gift Card and she loved it because she could use it anywhere. That is what I would do. Or a 100.00 gift card to a really nice restaurant in your area.
