You definitely don't send cookies if you are not attending. In my experience people who have to travel for the wedding don't bring cookies either.
.

My parents are from Pittsburgh and while cookie tables are definitely a thing up there its usually family who does the baking / brings cookies so don't feel as though you have to contribute.

I'm from Pittsburgh, often the family does most of the cookie making. they will have plenty.

No, it's not rude. Not everyone knows how to bake!

So it isn't rude to not bring/send cookies. Thanks! Whew. I only had the gift because I bought it before this all cropped up.

I can not attend my friend "A's" wedding next weekend due to a medical issue. Her friend B lives in the area, is going and volunteered to take my gift up with her. She says that she is also contributing to "the cookie table" and suggested I prepare a tupperware container of cookies to send along. "B" is not my friend and I didn't want to seem like an idiot, but when I wikipediaed it I got the idea that people just lay out a bunch of different cookies. Am I missing something? Can they be store bought? I can't deal with any cut outs or fancy icing this week.
