Chad and I just got married, and are still figuring out our budget. Our friends are getting married in August, and I'm unsure how much we should spend on a gift for them. In the past (as a single gift-giver), I've spent around $50 (I'm also a college student). As "joint" gift givers, should we spend around $100, or would approximately $75 be acceptable if we can't afford more? The groom-to-be attended our wedding, and gave us a gift worth approximately $80 (sorry to be so crass with all this money talk, by the way), but the card had both their signatures - the bride-to-be had a different wedding to go to on the same day.I know that the cost of a gift should be decided by your relationship to the people getting married and what you can afford --- but I want to get a feel for what other Knotties think would be appropriate.Thank you!

Yep, that's totally going to be me.
