How much you spend depends on (a) how close you are to the couple and (b) how rich you are. Rich relatives might easily give a $420 gift, but there's a real lack of gifts in the sub-$100 range there. More to the point, if I'm going to give a couple a $400 gift, I want them to keep it and appreciate it. I want it to be the good silverware which only comes out on special occasions, or the fancy glassware that the children aren't allowed to touch. I don't want it to wind up as a small part of a line item on an accountant's bill.
