Question: We received an invitation to a wedding but are unable to attend. Do we have to send a gift?
Answer: The proper protocol is to send a gift. By sending an invitation to you; a gift is expected. The same for a wedding shower. If you're not going to attend even a small gift should be sent: flowers or a gift certificate for a mani/pedi. By choosing not to send a gift it's a (soft) signal that you're terminating the friendship.

Thanks for the Q & A.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think I should do. I received a graduation announcement from my husband's cousin in another state. She sent them out on behalf of her grandaughter's graduation from dental hygenist school. I'm kind of at a loss as to how to acknowledge it. She is going into a career and I'm not sure if they are wanting us to send her a cash gift or what.
Would appreciate your thoughts.
