    E,

    I'm in the camp with Hummingbird. If you wish to go, and can afford a small gift, that will be fine. If these folks know your situation, I'm sure they understand. At least I would.

    Also worth saying, you are not compelled to attend, if you'd rather not. Simply drop them a call (or a nice card) and apprise them of you decision (that you will be unable to come), and wish them your best.

    Do not feel obligated to send a gift, unless you wish and can reasonably afford to. ;)

    Regards

    It is not a gift if it is expected.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) social norms and expectations.

    Give from your heart, if that is not appreciated, then (*)(*)(*)(*) em'.

    If you're going to a wedding as a single guy, it's a good place to meet women, but funerals are better...no gift is required for the bereaved, yet another bonus.

    Grief is an aphrodisiac.

    Mom... meatloaf! Hey Mom...more meatloaf!
