Wedding present help

[ripon432]

Hello

I have been invited to a cousins wedding , they are a couple in their 50’s who are very well off financially

There is nothing in the invitation about gifts. Is it acceptable to ask what they would like or choose something for them

It is a whole day invitation, but Is a long time since I attended a wedding so am not sure about etiquette now

Any advise welcome

If gifts aren't mentioned and they're already loaded, just bring a bottle of champagne in a gift bag.

Of course it's fine to ask, how else would you find out - just a casual text is great. If they don't reply or just reply with a vague answer I would bring a token gift, my personal go-to would be a bottle of champagne and a nice card with a personal message. Portable, generic, re-giftable and appropriately celebratory without breaking the bank. Of course don't do this if the couple are teetotal!

Or if they are clear they really don't want gifts at all (which is increasingly the case with later in life marriages of well-off couples), then it is fine to not give anything. By far the most common thing though is to give cash in one form or another, gift vouchers/ contribution to the honeymoon or collection to charity being the most common. If this is the case just give what you can afford, no expectation to stretch yourself financially, a token is perfectly polite and appropriate (assuming you are in UK / standard British culture, different standards of politeness apply to all the above elsewhere).
