Is it appropriate to put a suggested 'gift amount' on a wedding invite?

I have never in my life heard of this. Apparently this is a trend now...people are listing suggested gift amounts.

If you are over leveraged and can't afford a wedding...don't have one. I think $100 per person is beyond fair for not close family.

I've heard about this tradition, even among my friends. But it would be terribly unpleasant for me to do this, and it would be wild to hear, being in the role of a bride, that the guests were told the amount. It's hard to remember anything in the wedding rush, but some of the envelopes were original and I remembered who presented them. Some were signed.

If you want to have friendly relations with each of the guests in the future, it is better to avoid voicing the amount.

But there are situations when you need to cover expenses, for example, for men's wedding suits. After all, it really costs a lot of money now. Maybe then it will be the right decision.

It's up to you to decide!
