Destination wedding- not attending... what to gift?
DH and I have some "friends" that are having a destination wedding coming up that we decided not to attend. I quoted the word friends because we used to be closer, but have drifted apart over the years. They repeatedly make plans and never show up (and don't bother to call), so, we haven't socially gotten together with them in a long time because of this. It's really frustrating. They gave us a larger wedding gift last year than many of our guests, but they actually attended our wedding and we paid for them to eat as well. Since we're not attending theirs, they have no plans to have an at home reception, and we're not close with them, what should we give them as a gift? I don't want to be rude to them because of the gift they gave us, but I also I don't think the same amount is necessary...
Re: Destination wedding- not attending... what to gift?
I think you should stop thinking about wedding gifts in terms of "how much did they spend on us?" and "Well, we paid for them to eat at our wedding." The entire mindset is kinda gross to me.
Look at their registry. Is there something there that you'd like to give? Then do so. You are never obligated to give a gift of any amount.
