If they are not registered, do you give them cash?
Okay, my husband and I (both in our mid thirties) are invited to a wedding (the couple is in their early 40s...not sure if this is their first marriage or not). In the invitation there was no mention of where they are registered. I sent the bride an email and asked and she replied that they were not registered...thanked me for my thoughtfulness and said that she was excited that we would be sharing her special day with her. So do we still get them something? Do we give cash?

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I recently read an advice column about wedding gift etiquette and it said that a gift is a gift and that the dollar amount you spend is really up to you. You are not expected to "cover your plate," as the author stated.
If they don't have a registry, I think a gift card to a nice restaurant or something similar would be nice (movie tickets, museum, etc).

That would be very cute. We usually just give $.
At their age, I'm thinking they have the household items that others normally register for. I agree, cash or a gift card is an appropriate gift.
Now, if it were someone that was tacky and specifically asked for cash for their wedding then I'd head to the Dollar Tree and get the ugliest set of wind chimes you can find.
