A wedding expert has revealed how much money guests should gift newlyweds - and says £50 is a "benchmark" to "cover your cost" on the big day.
Zoë Burke, 33, claims it is pretty standard to give cash to the bride and groom - replacing the tradition of gift giving.
She said although in the UK couples don't typically ask for anything, it is "appropriate" to give £25 and upwards to the newlyweds.
Zoë suggests £50 if you're a single guest, £100 per couple and £100 if you're family or a close friend.
But she said guests should never be "ashamed" if they can't afford to bring a wedding gift and it is never "expected".
