Can't we just send a gift? It's seven hours away and we really dread going.
  • People don't seem to realize...

    that their wedding is a really big deal for *them*. For many of the guests a wedding means airfare, hotel expense, a gift, and on and on it goes.

    To brides and grooms around the world: you do no one any favors by asking them to drop everything to attend your wedding. It is they who do you a favor by showing up. Sending a gift with a lovely note is more than enough.
