mixed. my sister's MIL is sefardi and FIL is ashkenazi, so it was a complete mix. the anglo bunch were all ashkenazi and I am telling you that they gave money. I do not remember seeing any gifts at the wedding at all, maybe from her student friends or his hesder friends.

I got money from Ashkenazim, presents from Sefardim, money from those going to many chassunehs, presents from those not going often, etc. I saw no pattern.

I got $15,000 and where I come from that's very very little. I had about 500 people at my wedding. When my parents heard how little I got they gave me an additional $10,000 to make up for it. B"H we are still saving our wedding money and my parents money to IY"H be able to buy a house. That's money that we don't touch no matter what. My parents set my house up plus bought me all my furniture before I got married so I had no use to use my wedding money yet.

Are you an only child? How can people afford this, let alone for several children?

I got 1000 dollars from one grandparent, 1000 shekel from another grandparent, and from maybe 10-20 people between 50 and 200 shekel each. The rest were gifts. I had a small wedding, fewer than 200 people...
