It really depends on the person. We're on a really tight budget and can't give many gifts in general, but I have several close friends getting married this year that I'm sending gifts to even though I can't make it to the wedding
I always feel really awkward when someone invites me to their wedding and I feel like I hardly know them. Like, no I don't want to travel to your wedding, and I definitely don't want to spend money on a gift for you! Sorry! (Is that bratty? Or does anyone else think that?)
It depends for me. For sure if I had to miss a good friend's shower/wedding I would send ahead a nice gift. But if it's like, random coworker that's inviting the whole office, I'll just see if I can chip in like 10 bucks on a group gift or don't send anything.
If I don't know them well and it feels they're just inviting me with a "the more the merrier" attitude, then no. If it's someone I really care about and I genuinely wish I could attend their wedding/shower, then yes, I will make sure I send them something.
Always, but the extent of thought and money that goes into the gift varies based on how close I am with the person.
I still send a gift, a smaller gift than if I was able to attend but a gift is sent
I would give a small gift if invited but I dont attend, but I would spend more on the gift if i am close to them. So yes, but the gift will depend on who it is. I might even just mail a card with a gift card inside if i'm really not sure about what to get them and again the amount would vary.
If it were a good friend whose wedding I wanted to but could not attend, I would still send a gift. If it were a wedding that I didn't want to attend, then I might not. It depends on the circumstances and specific relationships in play, though.
It depends .... If I feel that the ONLY reason i was invited was for my present and not my presence then no gift. If it is a close friend/family of course I send one. I sent a gift to my nieces bridal shower and I wasn't invted (we live a few states away and they new I couldn't come).
