Hi everyone,
I have a questions about cash wedding gifts when you have to fly interstate for the wedding. This is for an immediate family member of my partner, but neither of us are close with him (and to be honest we don’t particularly like him) but he is family so we have to go. So far the total costs of travelling is going to be about $2500 - $3000 (car rental, flights, accommodation). The groom has asked for gifts of cash as they already live together. Am I wrong in thinking that we have already spent enough and so our gift should be that we are attending the wedding?
Now that I type this out I do think I might be wrong, if this was a wedding that I wanted to go to rather than feeling obliged to go to the question of money wouldn’t have crossed my mind.
What do you guys think?
p.s. I wasn't sure if this is the right forum to put this in, please feel free to move it if I picked the wrong one!
