What is the appropriate wedding gift if I did not attend the wedding?

Jessica W asked:


My friend and his wife got married in Europe and my husband and I could not go to the wedding. They were at our wedding two years ago and I have no idea what is the appropriate wedding gift? Do I give them half of what they gave us since they did not have to pay for us at their wedding? Should I send a check or get a few remaining items from their registry? I don’t want to offend them but have no idea what I am supposed to spend, please help.

      Get them something from their registry or something that you think or know that they can use.

      Wedding anywhere between 4075 seems to work.

      something small from their registry … maybe a set of glasses or something that comes in a set … that way you get them something but you don’t seem cheap
