To the OP, $200 is what I have been giving, as part of the wedding party. I haven't been to a wedding where I wasn't in the wedding party.
I should start invoicing my time as a wedding party consultant.

You're not expected to bring a gift to a dinner party (although a bottle of wine would be nice). But at a wedding you are expected to bring a gift.
