[quote=Anonymous]Definitely feel empowered to politely decline going. We had to do this at the height of age when friends and family were getting married. The costs and leave time were tremendous and there was no other option. Also just the one person whose family it is can go to the wedding. This cuts costs considerably from 3-5 airfares down to 1, sharing hotel with a cousin for instance. We went to several weddings this year post Covid, and even within driving distance, the gift costs alone are substantial. Our culture is money gifts too so no economizing. We got married 15 years ago and I don't recall anyone sending a gift who did not attend the wedding. Recently my ILs mentioned that it's customary to send a money gift even if not attending but this is not the custom in my family and I had never heard of this. [/quote]
