    The pair have been together since her reign as Miss Universe in 2017. During her farewell at the 2018 Miss Universe, she thanked Tim for all his support. Tim got down on one knee on January 9, 2019 in Jacksonville, Florida.

    Gone are the days when monetary gifts are seen as rude and unthoughtful. Nowadays most people live together before marriage so they often don’t need the traditional gifts. Giving money is an easy option but how much should you give as a cash wedding gift?

    There are many reasons why a couple might request a cash gift. Many couples prefer receiving money because it can contribute to the honeymoon or big purchases. Maybe the couple would prefer to buy their own things from various places and therefor one registry wouldn’t work.

    But as a guest, how much money should you give? You don’t want to give too little but at the same time you don’t want to be bankrupt.

    Things to consider

    Firstly, your final amount depends on your relationship with the soon-to-wed pair. If you’re an intimate family member or a very close friend, you would obviously be expected to give more.

    If you’re a distant relative and you don’t really see the couple often or if you’re a co-worker then you wouldn’t give as much.

    Ask yourself, how much would you spend on a gift? The amount you gift should be similar.

    Base your figure on your own budget. What can you afford to give? If you’d like to give a large amount then you could perhaps save a little money each month.

    You probably know what it is, but maybe the name itself is unfamiliar. So what exactly is a boutonniere? It’s a spray of flowers that is attached to the left lapel, as many believe that when it’s placed on the left, it’s closer to your heart. A great idea is to have a flower from the bride’s bouquet feature in the boutonniere to create some sentiment and unity.

    Boutonniere, which is French, translates to ‘buttonhole’ in English.

    As small as they may be, boutonnieres can really make a simple and beautiful statement.

    Go as big and bold as you like!

    Customise your boutonniere. Add things of meaning to you.
