Nothing says "I love you" better than a slice of crispy toast in the morning.

Give what you can afford and that should be fine. If your sister and her fiance doesn't think thats enough then they are classless people.

I think $250 is a good amount to spend on them. Even then if you only have $200 left over a month maybe you should get them a nice gift for $50 an call it a day. I don't think your sister expects you to go broke over her wedding. She'll probably be happy just to have you there.

Never been to a wedding before? Or one where you are actually in a position to give a true gift?

Give them $100.

Come up with a sum of money that has special meaning to the both of you. For example, the price of a bicycle that you had that she really wanted. Or something like "here's one dollar for every time I told you that you were an idiot - $5219" Or "remember that stuffed bunny I had that you always wanted? It's available on ebay for $150 - here's the money"

The idea is to come up with something really special to the two of you, and tie the money to that.

Very good idea

I'd go with $200. A wedding is HOPEFULLY a once in a life time thing.
