My husband and I are hosting a post-wedding brunch the morning after the wedding for out-of-town guests (mostly of the groom) for our niece. Fifty people have been invited. I attended a bridal shower and took a gift. In what price range should our wedding gift to the couple be?

You have certainly done your share by hosting the post-wedding brunch. Because she is your niece you probably want to send a token gift from the wedding couple’s bridal registry. In a situation such as this it is not about how much you spend, but the fact that you send a token gift from their registry. Look online to see if there is an item on the bridal registry that you can fill out such as by sending a dinner plate to make up her set or pillow cases to go with her sheets. In other words, be practical. Giving someone something you know they need and want is appreciated more than you can imagine.
