Anonymous asked: Dear American Gentleman, I was recently invited to a friend from college's wedding. While I am eager to attend, I am unsure about the gift. How much does a gentleman spend? Should I purchase something from their gift registry, or should I give them a check? I am curious about the dollar amount as I am still a full-time student and live my life on a budget. I'd appreciate your opinion, as your website is one that I always turn to for advice and guidance.

It is customary to spend around $50 per meal they serve you. So if you have a “plus one” your costs go up. Pick off the registry for ease and convenience.
