The daughter of some friends of ours (for over 30 years) got married in October, her second, his first. We were told that the wedding was for "family only" and that we along with other friends of the brides parents would not be invited. We recently received a wedding annoucement containing the date of the nuptials and the new address of the couple. Are we are we supposed to send a gift? As a recall, we were quite generous to bride for the first go around, (we were invited to that wedding). I don't want to offend our friends, her parents, but I can't help but feel that we weren't "good enough" to invite to the wedding but we are now "good enough" to send a gift, possibly more cash. Should I gift the new couple or just send a note of congratulation?
A wedding announcement is not a plea for a gift. Send a note of congratulations and, if you like, send a gift. Neither is necessary, the note is polite; give a gift only if you want or are feeling generous. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
INVITATION FOR A GIFT?
