Money/Gift for an invite to an afters?

rnej · 2011-05-30 01:14:55

My boyfriend and I got invited to the afters of his workmates wedding. They aren't very close and my boyfriend didn't even expect to be invited. The workmate told him that he didn't have to bring anything because he knows that my boyfriend is only part-time and is a full time student. I've never actually met the workmate…

I've never actually met the workmate so wouldn't know what to buy, boyfriend doesn't know either... So should we give a gift or cash or anything at all? And if so how much?

I don't think anything - you are not close to this person nor are you being invited to the whole thing, it's just the afters. Just give them a congratulations card or something, but that's it.

You could get them a nice bottle of sparkling wine for about €15 and a card, or just a card. You don't have to get them a present, but I wouldn't show up without a card tbh.
