My fiance and I are attending a wedding reception of one of his friend's. We must include airfare and hotel costs as a factor. The wedding ceremony is open only to family. This couple have long been together and have a child. My question is regarding what to give them..We can't seem to locate any sort of wedding registry and no other invitees believe they are registered anywhere. To me, this seems like the most likely gift would be to give money and I find this tactic rather tacky. Am I making too much of this?
It is not polite to advertise a gift registry. It is unfortunate that no one seems to know where they are registers or even IF they are registered. But, some people find registering impolite, as if asking, or even demanding that the guest give them a certain gift. Bottom line: if you want to give them something, give what you think they would want or need.
It doesn't always have to be money.
Enjoy your event!

You should ask the couple where they are registered. If they are not registered, this is a clue that they would prefer a monetary gift. However, just because they prefer money does not mean you must give money. You can still decide to give a gift you think they would appreciate.
