[quote=Anonymous]Burlington Coat Factory for you DH.  Black suit, white shirt, black silk tie.  Done, easy, and not pricey.  Plus, he has it for the next time.

There are countless options for you less than $150.

Give a gift that you like -- my favorite non-registry item is something personalized with their names and wedding date, something w/their invitation, etc.  They obviously liked the invitation and what newlywed doesn't like to see their names and wedding date as they walk by?  Toasting flutes?  Cake and knife set?  Obviously sent before the wedding.  If it's personalized, the price is irrelevant.  Cash is trickier b/c well, they know exactly what you're giving.  $200 is an appropriate amount and I wouldn't think twice or think you are cheap.

As always, if all of this seems too much for you (which it doesn't -- you sound cool and like you were actually looking for ideas and suggestions)...just don't go.  It is your prerogative to decline the invitation.  But there are certainly ways for you to attend that can be done as inexpensively as possible.  I would not let the attire or gift be the reason you decline.[/quote]
