| I guess it depends on your budget. When I go to weddings, I usually try to gie $300. My own wedding was about $120 per head. So I give $300 and figure that it's $150 for me and $150 for Jim. I try to cover our cost in a sense. But some people only give $100 or $200. I guess it depends on how close you are to the person. For example, I would give $300 to a friend but when my friend Christine got married, Jim and I gave her $500 because she is a VERY close friend to us. We're godparents to her twin baby girls. My sister is getting married on Sunday and we're giving her $1,000. But it really depends on your budget and how close you are to the person. I hope this helps. Have a great time dancing at the wedding! Which Country Club is he getting married at on LI? My sister is using the Riviera in Brooklyn for her reception. I used the Excelsior Grand on Staten Island for my reception and we got married at the Staten Island Botanical Gardens.

| Oh wow the botanical gardens that must have beautiful. Well hes my boss, I've worked with him for close to 4 years now. I was thinking 300 was pretty good. I just got a dress for the event and im in the search for earrings, shoes and a clutch. Its a big deal b/c we thought he was going to be the quintessential BACHELOR. But the event is almost here. Gosh i keep forgetting the name of the place but its also a Golf place... North something keeps popping in my head... My budget isnt too great but i dont want to look cheap :\ so maybe 400... ugh decisions are the worst...

| I think $300 is good. That's what we usually give too. It's so hard when you have to give your boss a gift isn't it? When I worked in Manhattan everyone had to chip in money for the boss for his birthday or something and no one knew what to get him. They ended up getting him a bottle of wine. Jeez! I would never open such an expensive bottle!

| I think there is one called the North Shore Country Club - if that is the one you mean, it's BEAUTIFUL! I've been to weddings there a few times and the food is awesome and the location is stunning! It's very expensive but classy.
