Originally, giving money was to give a good head start to a new couple. Nowadays, with a whole "wedding industry", it barely covers the cost of the weddding. So, to me, no matter where it is, you kind of have to "pay for your plate". I've also been in the situation where my cousin got married in the Dominican. Since there was no real reception, as everything was included anyway, not many gifts were exchanged. In fact, she told us not to give gifts, as paying the ticket to be there was more than enough.
I see where your coming from Princessa but think of it this way! When your wedding roles around trust me family always remembers!! and they will talk!! so its best that you avoid all the critic and just fork up the extra 100bucks and if you dont want to spend then just send some money with ur parents and you dont go!
I would say yes. Your already spending money to get to whatever destination it is so I don't see how an extra $100 or $200 would make a difference. I would atleast still give $100.00
Im gonna say yes! for one reason when i went to my primos wedding in NY we paid for our room and food and all plus we gave him money! cuz if you think about it they send u the invite out of common curtousy and its really your choice if you go or not! so yes!
My family did they all came from El salvador, NYC, michigan for my brothers wedding and they all gave him money!
