It's been a while since I went to a wedding, especially to an obligated one.
My rule of thumb is $100/person. And $150 together with my wife (looks better than $75 each) if we don't know the couple that well. I'm sure with inflation now, that doesn't cover the cost anymore though.
But TBH, there isn't a lot of people who I feel close enough anymore to give more than $100. My circle of friends have really diminished, but I'm ok with that. Quality > Quantity.
Weddings can be fun, but it really depends how well you know the others that are going. If someone in your circle of friends are getting married, then you'll probably have a good time. If you only know the couple, well, they're not gonna have any time for you that night. So be prepared to mingle with randoms and hope you don't get stuck at a table with boring people.
