When you're not invited to a wedding, is it still expected to send a gift? This Redditor's cousin is getting married, but they weren't invited to the wedding. They weren't even aware of the date until someone asked them what they were getting the couple for a gift. The Redditor feels like it's unfair to be excluded from the wedding, especially since they had to reschedule their own graduation party to accommodate the couple's schedule. But family members are telling them to just be the bigger person and send a gift anyway. What do you think? Is it petty to skip the gift just because they weren't invited? Or is it a matter of principle? Share your thoughts in the comments.
