I agree. They probably know "you" won't attend but are hoping for the check. Smile

Why do you have to send anything? You hardly know her, and most likely your paths will never cross again. If she was a friend of yours it'd be different. I'd just throw the invitation in the trash and go about my business.

I wouldn't send 10 cents to someone I don't know.

I agree with $50. I would not give more.

It is definitely a gift grab and I don't feel gift grabs should be rewarded with a gift. Also there is the never ending future gift grabs once they know you are an easy mark. Next it will be for the baby shower if not sooner for a bridal shower.

They invite people they know won't attend, not people they actually want, but hope/expect will send a gift anyway.

Hi Tabby! My idea of how much cash I would give as a wedding gift to someone I barely knew? I think you know me well enough to know my answer to this question.

This might not be a popular answer but I would not send anything. It would be different if you weren't going to a wedding of a close friend or relative, then for sure I'd send a 100 check.

I'd send a card only.

You don't know the couple, the invitation is just a ploy to get a gift. I'd send them a really nice card and that's it. Weddings are so over the top and expensive today that couples will stop at nothing to get as many gifts and checks as they can possibly get.
