    Hi folks,

    Got invited to the wedding of an old school friend next month, but I can't go as I have another wedding on the same day. They know, I've already sent back the RSVP and talked to them to explain - they're absolutely fine with it.

    What's the procedure now? Someone told me that you should send money anyway, so I was going to send a 'Happy Wedding Day' card with €50 in it. Do I need to do anything else?

    Thanks

    There isn't any 'procedure'. If it was a close friend that you wish to give a gift to, then do as you suggested.

    If it was just a random person from your past then you don't have to do anything if you don't want to - you have politely declined and explained, it isn't obligatory to do anything more.

    In the end only you know how you feel about the situation, do what makes you feel comfortable.

    You need to do nothing - send a card if you wish saying congratulations but unless it's a very close friend, no need to give them any present. Even if they are a very close friend, no need to send a gift either - a card will suffice.

    If you would go to their wedding if you were free and *want* to send them a gift , then do.
    But don't feel that you "have to" or "should".
