Re: Wedding Gifts
Im not sure what the normal is, but DHs mom surprised us with a huge check for half the price of the wedding the day after, at our post day wedding brunch, which actually made us break even, otherwise we would have made half back, so maybe it is normal.

Re: Wedding Gifts
I really think it varies a lot -- some families don't give money only gifts. If you had a lot of out of town guests you probably will get smaller gifts, since the costs of weddings are less outside of the New York area.

Re: Wedding Gifts
We pretty much broke even. We weren't even expecting that much, so we were happy.
