My daughter is 19. She has been with her boyfriend for three years and close with his family. They recently have broken up and his sister is getting married next month. She and I have been invited to the wedding shower at her ex-boyfriend's house.
Is it wrong to decline the invitation and just send a gift? What is the correct way to decline? It is regrets only to an email address, and I want to word it respectfully and appropriately. I should add that I believe my daughter wants to get back together with him, just not certain this is really going to happen.

Dear Cbren,
A gift isn't necessary if not attending. But, you could decline stating that you won't be able to attend and send your congratulations.
It is unfortunate that the family is hosting the shower. That is a big no-no.
