I'm going to a wedding in two weeks where my bf is bestman. Unfortunately, although I have a good job, money is very tight lately. My bf and I are going abroad just after the wedding. We just had our anniversary so bought him a gift for that, plus Father's Day and Mother's Day gifts as well as birthday presents for 4 family birthdays in July and August. On top of this, I've just found out that my car needs some major repairs totalling over $1,000... plus rent, insurance, student loans, etc etc...
I have no money to spend on a wedding gift. Even $50 will be a stretch for me right now. I feel awful! Should I just bite the bullet and put $50 in with my bf's gift? (They want cash.) Or is there something else I can do instead? My bf said it's okay if I don't put any money in with his (he would still sign both our names on the card) and I know a gift isn't mandatory, but they're good friends and I feel really bad not giving something...
Any suggestions or opinions are appreciated!
