[quote=Anonymous]Our oldest nephew is 30.  His family moved to the West Coast and we see him briefly every few years if his parents are in town for an event like a funeral or wedding - otherwise, no contact. He and his fiance have two children - when they lived here, I met the fiance twice, briefly, saw their daughter once, never got to meet their son.

He is a lucrative realtor, wife is a stay at home mom. His parents gave them a substantial check to put towards a wedding, and they have elected to take the $ and go to Fiji for two weeks - their wedding ceremony will be private.

I am sure we will get a wedding announcement after the fact. What would you give? We are cordial but not close. I attended a different nephew's wedding last year (DH's side of the family) along with our son, and gave the couple, who we know well, $500.

What do you send in response to an announcement from family member if you aren't invited to wedding? I want to acknowledge their special day, but we are not particularly close to them.[/quote]
