Questions about amount paid for wedding gifts?(Ireland)?

email

My colleague(Friendly at work but not close friends) has invited my boyfriend and I to her full wedding. How much is one expected to put towards a wedding gift?
If in another country it would be handy to hear in your currency what you think and I can covert it ito euros. There is a gift register with gifts ranging from v little to expensive but I still wish to get a general idea of much to spend.

Answer
This is by no means a rule...but something to think about. It's probably going to cost the newlyweds at least $35 per guest to entertain you at the reception. You wouldn't want to be an expense to them right?
So I'd say at least $70
(My estimates are USD but you can make the correlation)

Good gift to bring my friends in Ireland?

Jonny the

I'll be taking a four day holiday next month in Ireland. I have some dear friends that I will be visiting and want to know, what would be a fine gift to bring?

I want to bring some spirits. Are there any American liquors that are popular over here which I could bring?

Any suggestion is welcome, however, please don't say Marlboro's; I always bring as many smokes as customs will allow

Answer
Jack Daniels is the only American liquor I can think of that is also popular over here in Ireland.

Does the gift have to be alcohol though? I mean why not bring them a sack of potatoes if you want to play on stereotypes!

Why don't you bring them some Hersey's chocolate or some of those Jelly Belly jellybeans?! A basket of cookies or something like that...
