The idea in western europe is you give generously to "boost" the couple so they get a bit of a kick start to their life. In theory it works, you "donate' when you're established and get a leg up when starting out. It only kinda works where everyone gets married and attends roughly the same amount of weddings though, that's where it goes pear shaped in modern society.
