Wedding gift help please

SIL got married in India in January. Because of finances most of the family couldn't go, but her husband is from India so a wedding there was very important to him. Last month they had a bridal shower post wedding. I got her a gift card to her favorite store because that's what she was asking for. They are having a wedding reception this month for everyone who couldn't make it. I've never done a bridal shower and wedding reception without my parents. Do I need to also get a gift for the reception ?

Thank you @ third I will ask my parents what an appropriate amount is since we are in different states.

The amount of money to give really depends where you live. We live in a middle class neighborhood in Southern California and in our area $100 bill is very normal. My much older relatives and friends that only have one income give $50.

Eta: money is a very appropriate gift if their household is already set up

Everything she got at the shower was household items. I did a gift card cause that's what she wanted from everyone but only 5 people listened lol.

She is my SIL so I don't want to cheap her out on a gift. DF and I also just moved have a 4 year old to support and one on the way. I don't even know what an appropriate amount of money is to give.

I thought it was a gift for the shower and money for the wedding?

Really though do whatever you want. so many people don't follow those types of rules anymore. Plus it's not about gifts but celebrating their new marriage. ☺️

I was taught the bridal shower is a gift for the bride and a reception is a gift for the household. We do give two gifts but many people only brought one or the other to my wedding related celebrations and it didn't bother me at all.

Okay I didn't know if I was suppose to or not. I haven't been to a wedding since high school. My parents worried about that stuff lol

Short Luteal Phase?

I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
