    A friend of mine is getting married in a couple of weeks, and we can't make it because of distance. Her shower was the day after mine, and I bought her a beautiful Le Cruiset casserole dish for her shower gift. 

    Since I'm not going to the wedding, do I get her another gift?

    if it's a coworker or so-so friend, then no

    if you consider her close(r) circle of friend, then yes, then you may want to as a courtesy.

    @FinallyGettingMarried: she's a family friend...we're kind of close, but not BFF by any means.

    I think if you were invited to the wedding, it may be nice to get a gift.  Though, because you already got her a nice gift, you could possibly get something smaller as a wedding present.

    I would say no. I would get her a card and/or gift card if you feel like you should get her something else.
