Can't attend friends weddings; gift suggestion?

LadyMayBelle

Ive been invited to three weddings and two hen parties this summer. All in Ireland. I live in London and to a tight budget as it is, and have had to go with the all or nothing route; either I went to all weddings, or one hen and the other's wedding, and none at all. By going to a least one wedding Im forfeiting a weekend away with the boyf, which would be our first in years. You get the gist? It makes me sad I cannot attend these joyous ocasions but financially I just cannot make it work; it costs me a lot extra flying/transport/the guilt of not seeing my family because I have to go to weddings/hens.

Anyways, as touched as I am to have been invited, I'd love to make some gesture to thank the brides (my friends). How much is acceptable and if not money what would new couples like? Would love some suggestions as these girls are such lovely people but I cannot attend.

For wedding paries,you may considering one or two personalized gift for your friends ,the gifts may be not very expensive ,but it should be memorial :-)

Sorry you can't attend a friend's wedding, it's a shame, but hopefully they'll understand. It's very kind of you to think of giving them a gift.
A few similar threads started recently in this forum, try those for some suggestions. Giving them a small personal gift may be of more value than giving a little money as it sounds like you need it enough as it is.

Thanks, yes I spotted a similar thread just after the posted
I'd much prefer to give them something personalised alright, Ill have to think a bit harder! I'm truly gutted I cannot attend but it's for good reason, Id be there in a flash if I had the funds!
Thanks
