[quote=Anonymous]When we had a newborn (pumping 8 to 10 times a day) and a 2.5 yr old, DH's 2 cousins (siblings) were getting married out of state weeks apart.  Neither location was convenient to a direct flight and we had no reliable child care.  We called his aunt/uncle who we are closer to than the cousins and explained our situation (although I'm sure they would have preferred it if we came anyway) and then sent nice gifts to both couples.

When I received the bridal shower invite for the boy cousin's (i've only met this cousin once in 10 years of marriage to DH) future wife I laughed (b/c I did think it was more about her side soliciting for presents), but I picked something off the registry and ordered a small gift (about $25).

This is the best we could do.

If you have dental care expenses, it's totally understandable that you can't afford the trip.  I would reach out and just let your uncle/aunt know this.  Send a small gift if you can.  If not, just a card wishing them well should be fine.  [/quote]
