They are all caring and responsible young adults. Would you match the previous gifts or increase the amount.
My niece #2 got married in July 2019. Nothing official yet, but it looks like her older sister (niece #1) may be getting married within the next year. If this does come to pass, I wiill give the same amount of money for the upcoming wedding as I did for the 2019 wedding.
