A co-worker, also a Pastor, friend.. handed me a invite for his sons wedding yesterday. The wedding is Saturday. My family has alot going on but we could switch things around to make it but my SD and I would need to shop for dresses and we just dont have any free time for that also. We decided we wont be able to swing it with this short of notice. Really would be hard to even swing a gift this week since paid every other week and this was a tight one. Is in inappropriate to give a gift a week late if you dont attend? I have only met his son once at at church. I would love to go to the wedding and give a gift just hard being so last minute. The RSVP was supposed to be sent prior to March 30. How should I handle it??
If you can't go and want to give a gift next week, then I don't see a problem with that. But, like another pp said you don't have to give a gift just becaues of the invite. But, it is thoughtful of you!
It sounds to me like they had extra space because of other declines, I wouldn't feel bad about telling them you casn't make it on such short notice. If you want to send a gift, that woulod be very generous, and it would be fine to send it late.
Quoting Veni.Vidi.Vici.:A gift isn't required just because you received an invite. A card would be fine, but also not necessary.
