Etiquette Tips for Buying Your Boss a Wedding Gift

If you're looking to extend wedding wishes to your boss but are uncertain about the proper gift etiquette, here's our advice on maintaining professionalism while still expressing a personal sentiment.

Should you buy your boss a wedding gift?

Deciding whether to give your boss a wedding gift ultimately depends on the dynamics of your relationship, company culture and personal preferences. While it's often a thoughtful gesture to congratulate them on their milestone, it's not necessary unless you were invited to the wedding. In any case, consider the appropriateness of the gift and workplace norms. If you're unsure, you might gauge the situation by observing what others in the office are doing or discreetly asking colleagues for advice. If you didn't receive an invite, a small wedding gift for your boss, like a nice bottle of bubbly, is more than appropriate. Alternatively, consider pooling resources with coworkers for a more substantial group gift or gift card.

How much should you spend on a wedding gift for your boss?

An appropriate amount to spend on a wedding gift for your boss or manager can be determined by your relationship with the couple, the wedding's formality and any additional expenses you may incur attending the event. Utilizing our wedding gift calculator can help you pinpoint a suitable range. Generally, $75 or less is considered appropriate, but spending up to $150 is acceptable if you share a particularly close bond with the couple, such as having worked together for several years and socializing outside of the office. It's crucial to avoid making the couple feel uncomfortable, especially considering they may be aware of your income. Ultimately, stick to a budget that suits you, and remember that giving a gift is not obligatory if you're not invited to the wedding.
