We received a wedding invitation for my DH's 2nd cousin. We saw him over the summer at a picnic and met his future wife there. (I know this will be his 2nd marriage and not sure if this is her first or what) Other than that, we haven't seen said cousin in many, many years.
BUT....we are leaving on that particular day to go on our cruise so we will be sending in our response as "not attending" (obviously)
Here's my question....do we still send a gift of some sort? I mean they've been living together for quite some time now so I'm assuming they don't "need" anything to start a household with, plus this isn't someone who we keep in regular contact with. It's not that we don't WANT to send a gift but I'm not sure what the "right" thing to do is. And if it's "right" to send a gift, what do you give in this kind of situation? Or do we just send a card?
What's your opinion?
