[quote=Anonymous]Don't give a gift card or cash--give a gift on their registry that costs $200 or less or another (similar) gift you find on sale somewhere. Giving them cash or a gift card is just calling attention to the amount. If you need to decrease the amount you spend on the gift in order to keep your budget intact, I would do it--just don't give cash!!!

Agree with renting a tux or just wearing/buying a nice black suit that could be reworn elsewhere. In addition to the other, cheaper, dress ideas--TJ Maxx has some longer dresses too--that are $100 or less. Right now there is a gorgeous green long Ralph Lauren dress (in petite sizes) at the TJ MAxx near me I wish I could wear somewhere! Very plain, but very elegant.

Buy (or rent) a nicer, plainer evening dress at one of the stores suggested and then buy (or borrow) fancy costume jewelry or accessories to dress it up. So, if you do want to buy, at least you could wear the dress elsewhere or have it shortened to be more practical.

Like the other poster said, no one is going to look at your outfits.  Just blend in and try not to be too fancy/flashy. [/quote]
