NBR- Anniversary/Retirement gift question

My dad is retiring in a few weeks and DH's grandparents are celebrating their 50th anniversary soon too.  How much would you give as a monetary gift? I was thinking 80-100, is this to much? or not enough? We normally don't give money for anniversaries but this is a big one and there will be a big party so we will this time.

    I never give monetary gifts to people older than me...it feels weird.  I go for the gift card.  At any rate, $100 seems appropriate for both.

    I think $100 seems like a good amount.

    I personally probably would give something a bit more personal though. I'm sure they would appreciate that more. Grandparents always like to get things from their grandchildren. And if you do give your father cash it would probably seem more respectable if you gave him a note like "here's some cash to start a new hobby"or "play some golf on us".

    My MIL/FIL recently celebrated 45 years and we gave them sapphire colored waterford champagne flutes from macy's (i think that was the color?). Maybe come up with something for the 50 year mark (google it). Money sounds weird to me too.

    I just agree with pps. I think giving actual money is a little weird for lack of a better word. I think a nice sentimental gift would be better and more meaningful. 

    I just bought DH's brother and fianc?e their wedding gift yesterday. We debated giving money, but decided to get them something off thir registry instead.

    Thanks ladies, we are only discussing money because they said they want money or a gift card because they have too much stuff. From their mouth not mine lol
