What Even Is an Appropriate Wedding Gift These Days?

Being a guest at a wedding is an exciting and intimate time, but it can also be hectic and wallet-strapping. Traditionally, couples fill out a registry, making gift-giving easy as pie. Lately, though, newlyweds are asking instead for cold, hard cash toward a larger expense (a down payment on a house, their dream honeymoon, a head start on a future kid's college fund), which makes the gift-giving etiquette a bit more fluid. Experts say to equate the amount given for a wedding gift to your relationship with the couple, but that can be even more confusing.
