Hi - We are attending a local dual reception for a close friend, who was married recently out of town - we did not attend the wedding out of town. Her parents are hosting a dual reception for her and her brother, who was married within the past year. We only know her brother through one or two brief meetings over the years. Should we gift both my friend and her brother?
Receptions are not gift giving events so, if you weren't invited to the wedding, you're not expected to send a gift. However, if you feel like giving a gift, you could send one to the home of your friend before the reception. Gifts should never really be brought to the reception since they can be lost, stolen or separated from their cards.
