A family member got married in the fall, a very small, immediate family only ceremony.
Now she is having a reception which I think is great, I'd love to meet her husband and congratulate her in person.
The dilema for me and some other family members is, are we expected to bring gifts to this reception? I don't have a problem with it and will probably just give her a gift card, but my parents are on a fixed income and if they are expected to, then I need to cover for them. If it's optional, then we're okay.
I've just never dealt with this before. Thanks!
