Wedding gift question
DH and I are invited to a wedding out of state. The couple getting married was invited to our wedding but never RSVP'd and didn't send us a card or gift.
I am sending my regrets, but can I get away with not sending a gift? Money is a little tight right now for us with moving expenses and traveling for 3 weddings between mid-June and mid-July. I really think that if I can cut one expense out right now, this would be it.
Is that wrong? What would you do?

Re: Wedding gift question
I don't think it's a rule that you must send a gift if you're not attending the wedding. If you feel really bad, you can always have something little sent to them off their registry. They didn't even have the respect to RSVP to yours, I wouldn't worry about offending them so much - but thats just me.

I would still send something, but not anything big. Maybe a dinner gift cert or something small from the reg? I would take the "normal" wedding amount you send and maybe go half on that..........I know you don't NEED to, but just because they have no tact dosen't mean you don't either

Re: Wedding gift question
I agree. Since they didn't even RSVP to yours I wouldn't send a gift with your regrets.

Re: Wedding gift question
There were quite a few people who didn't come to our wedding and didn't send a gift either.
If you don't go a gift is not required.
Heck, some people go and don't give a gift.
