Hello everyone, I'll keep this brief. A very close childhood friend of mine, who's still a dear friend, is getting married in Nottingham. We're not from the UK; we live in Eastern Europe.

My girlfriend and I have been invited to his wedding, and we're not quite sure about the wedding gift traditions in the UK, specifically England. In our country, it's common to give cash, often amounting to nearly a month's salary...

Does this tradition hold true in the UK as well? Or is it different? I've read online that the typical expense on wedding gifts, or the cash given to the new married couple is around £100. This seems quite modest compared to the norms in my country.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for the responses, I've read every comment and you guys really gave me the information I needed and also made me laugh with your reactions or jokes xD. Happy new year everyone and also me and my gf are from Romania, we have really nice places where you can organize weddings, so now you know where to make friends if you want some extra money on your special event :))))))) Cheers everybody!
