Can’t afford a wedding gift, should I attend with only a card or just bow out all together. I’ve been told that a gift is expected even if I don’t attend! I would rather just go and share in the lovely experience of their wedding day.

For our wedding we don’t really want to register because we don’t need anything since we have been living together for the past three years. But we would love to accept money as a gift to pay for the honeymoon or put towards a down payment on a house. How do you word in a invitation that we arn’t registered but we want cash for our large expenses coming up?
OK, since everyone is trashing me on the subject, I’m the Matron of honor on this one and I was asking the question for the bride. I dont mean how can I ask for money in a formal invitation, I mean it more like for the shower. I’m going to be sending out invitations for her shower which is going to be a jack and jill and they dont need physical gifts. And everyone is trashing on this subject like she and I are unclassy to think that asking for money is wrong. It’s not like she wants to come out and say “I WANT MONEY” thats why we are asking, how should we got about this?
So if your going to write your unclassy and things like that then dont respond. I’ve seen it before that people note that money is accepted for help with honeymoon and such, welcome to 2009 people!!!
Thanks, just had to clear this one up for all you RUDE people that can’t respond nicely even though you have a difference of opinon.

birthday gifts

My husband and I are overdue on giving a wedding gift to our friends who got married about 14 months ago. Its actually my husband’s friends so I was hoping he would take care of it but he never did, so now I am before it gets any longer. Obviously we are quite embarassed but I don’t think we should necessiarily focus on that in the card, but rather still congratulate them. Perhaps say that we still fondly remember their wedding day?? We will not be delivering the gift in person, it will be mailed, and I would like to keep the card somewhat brief. How should we handle this situation? And, what should we say in the card? Thanks for your help!!

We’ve been invited to the wedding of a high school friend of my boyfriends, whom we don’t see more than three or four times a year. This is also his second wedding, and we did attend and bring a gift to the first. I plan on getting something from their registry, but since the amount you spend on a registry gift isn’t exactly a secret, I don’t want to offend. What price range should I aim for?
