Give me anything then slide me a 20.
I would give him his money back, OBVIOUSLY he needs it a lot more than I do

Word, man. I would've just sent that $20 back with our thank you letter to him.

$1.95 or so, but that's ONLY for family.

Weddings can be really pricey for real. Even the moderate ones are. I don't even know how an average Joe can afford to shell out say a couple of grand for flowers, $17-20k to rent a banquet hall, etc.
Some of my coworkers have online registries and I just get what's on the list, usually no more than $100 or so since I don't go to the actual wedding.

For destination weddings, my presence is a present.

Drove 10+ hours to go to my first 'friend' wedding. Knew him since high school/college but we aren't close like that. I just gave them a $50 gift card for Amazon (it was on their registry) and called it a day.

Maybe I'm reading them wrong but some of these responses I cant get with. I feel like when it comes to a gift, you should give what you can afford with good intentions, and if the recipient doesn't like it or thinks it's not good enough then that's on them and maybe they're the one with the problem. Not receiving a gift from someone that I've invited to celebrate in my accomplishments or whatever it be doesn't bother me, them just being there to witness is enough. I get weddings are expense but you shouldn't look to your guest to recoup your money back, but then again maybe that's not what some of you are saying. Ignorant statement but if money's a concern get married at a court house.
I've never planned a wedding, so maybe when that day comes I'll understand

I gave $100 at the last wedding I was at

Like I said, if it was a small wedding at some bingo hall, I get that. But if it was for someone I know and they're shelling out to invite me and the wife to a really fancy place, I'll shell out the ~$400.
Your presence and good intentions bringing a toaster as your gift to someone's wedding is kinda selfish. You're being invited to the beginning of a couple's holy union and when some of you are thinking you're just paying "fee's", you're actually helping them start out on the right foot, financially, which is the best thing you can do for them.
