I believe for regular guests to a wedding, it's thought to be nice to at least cover the cost of the meal. However, I have known many people to go way overboard and the price per person comes out to a small compact car (not really but it sounded funnier than $150).
That being said, technically, there is no hard and fast rule about giving anything to them at all. Yes you are invited but that doesn't mean you are obligated to give them a gift, let alone something expensive.
However, since this person is your sister, (I believe), then that's a different. I suppose if you don't have a good relationship with her then fifty bucks might be good. But if you have a very special relationship then you might want to give her a very meaningful gift. This isn't always expensive but could be. I believe I gave my sister and her husband some crystal fluted wine glasses to use at the wedding itself and that she still has displayed in her house. Then again you might be able to get something worth 100 on sale for 50 - so that's even better.
I don't think I would go over 100 unless I saw something so spectacular that she had to have it. And of course it also depends on your own finances, especially if you are in the wedding and there are expenses there. I was in a wedding where it cost me probably about $800 just to be in it with the stupid ugly dress and traveling to Annapolis, MD (from ohio) and the cost of hotel and all. She didn't get a gift - she got my presence at the wedding because when I was done - i had no money left over for a gift.
So this answer is probably no help. I hope someone else can give you more advice.

A lot of things depend on the appropriate gift for him. First of all, how close you are to him. If you’re just a passing acquaintance, you don’t have to put too much thought and effort to give the best. If you’re close to him, you need to put some thought, and perhaps, more money, to give the most suitable thing to suit his needs and tastes.
Another is your financial condition. When giving a gift, never make yourself go broke to give something expensive just to impress people. Cheaper and budget gifts can be wonderful gifts when they are chosen correctly.
Some things that come to mind when giving gifts: gift cards (Bed Bath and Beyond gift cards would be great for wedding gift, I think.) Unless you think it’s too personal. Another gifts that comes to mind are kitchen ware, household electronics, or interior decorations, or handicraft stuff.
