We have been invited to a wedding. Evening invite only.
The invitation included a tacky poem asking for cash gifts. (Guests invited to the whole day didn't get a begging letter poem )
The bottom line is, we can't really afford to give cash. Generally I'd put my feelings about this type of request aside and give what was asked for but I think the very small amount we can afford to give will look mean.
My alternatives are to give a cheap but nice gift, or donate to the charity that I know is close to the family's heart. I don't want to give a wrapped present if we will be the only ones who do so, not sure how they will feel about a donation to charity.
