We just went out to dinner with 2 friends (a married couple). I was totally surprised when they gave us a card with $500 check in it. It was our wedding gift.
I feel it is very generous, since we did not even throw the wedding. We had a city hall ceremony and an unplanned dinner in an inexpensive restaurant nearby. (it was 5 weeks ago, and we just came back from our honeymoon this Monday)
This couple are good friends, and we knew them even before we became a couple. Still, I did not expect it.
got $500 gift today!

Congratulations on your wedding!
I wonder if the couple figured that by not having to physically attend your wedding (not that anyone else had to either) that they saved "X" amount of money and felt that they could easily afford to gift you as they did.
What a nice thing for them to do and you're lucky to have them as friends.
