At my wedding, my wife and I said to our friends that we didn't want any wedding presents. We had a lovely small wedding at a relatively low budget. However friends and relatatives kept going on about how they couldn't attend and not give something....so we said sure just give us some cash. We recieved anything from nothing to 200 euros. Of course we were very chuffed....even for those who didnt give us anything because they took the time and effort to come to our gig.
I think it is entirely up to you and how close you are with the bride and groom. Wedding is about celebration...I dont think the presents come into it.
Honestly I hope i don't sound mean but i would suggest €50 voucher and leave it at that. It is costing you to attend but then again they (hopefully) are not inviting you for your present but for your company. i reckon €50 is fine, but i am open to correction.
I couldn't believe it when one of my closest friends was appalled by this. He wants to buy me some piece of crap gift.
I'm not thinking how much I'll make. People will want to give something and I don't want or need anything. Thus I'll take cash or vouchers preferrably. If I receive art or a toaster or such like I'll smile and thank them I guess. I only hope I can do it convincingly.
If you don't want or need anything why don't you ask people to make a donation to a charity of your or their choce.
