We were giving $200 but now we have started to give $300 because we know how much everything costs. So basically it is between 200-300.

I agree that a friendship is NOT judged on the amount of the gift. I highly doubt anyone here means that at all. I never change the gift amount based on where the reception is held. If you have a backyard BBQ you will get the same amount as if you had a wedding at The Plaza hotel.
I also got few non-financial gifts at the wedding and was pretty happy about that. It was nice to get a few things that I normally would not buy myself (such as a $100+ covered cassorole dish) that I really like having.

Karen - I agree - Isn't it funny to see the regional differences?
We received a few actual gifts too from the wedding, and it was nice and a little different to actually have something to open. Of those few gifts, we really appreciated what they gave us.
I think the cash gift became popular around here since everything is SO expensive around here, it's literally what young couples need most (for the most part), aside from the typical gifts one receives at their bridal shower.
