so my room mate invited me to go to her cousin's wedding, and i accepted to be her date (she is seeing this guy, but they just started dating and she has "one of THOSE" families and doesn't want to introduce him into it so early into their courtship)
but since i don't know them and i am only attending as her guest, am I required to bring a gift?

I don't know if it is required, but I would feel more comfortable bringing a small gift. You don't have to spend alot of money on it. Go to the dollar store and pick up a candy jar, and fill it with peppermints. Tie a ribbon on it, and go to the wedding and have a good time. Because you sounds like it's going to worry you the whole time, so break down and get a little something and then you can enjoy....God bless...

I would get them a nice card to wish them a happy marriage, & if you can afford a small gift(set of towels ect) then yes,but if your on a limited budget,then just the card. Your a guest of a guest. Or see if your friend will let you go in on there gift.

Yes. You should bring a gift, but don't think you have to go all out. My suggestion is a nice card enclosing an amount of money that is feasible for your bank account. Also write a nice wedding wish in there for them. Have fun!

When a person is invited to a wedding, and they can bring a guest, the guest is not obligated to bring a gift!

Your roommate should buy the gift since it is her cousin. You could just sign the card on her gift or get your own card if you want. But you shouldn't have to buy a separate gift.

You should not be expected to bring a gift...that's what bridal showers are for....usually at the wedding guests bring cards with Money for the couple...talk to your friend and ask what she plans to do....

I'd say bring a gift, but make it relatively small and inexpensive. Or, you might opt just to put a little money inside the wedding card.

The person whom invited you along as the date is responsible for bringing the gift.

You are not expected to bring a gift as you are attending as your cousin's date. Grab a nice card however as that would be a nice gesture.

If you don't personally know the bride or the groom, don't do either. Your roommate was invited to the wedding not you. You're just there to accompany your roomate and she should be the one purchasing a gift.
