Definetely go! It is family. Your relationship with the people is WAY more important than the gift. They will want you to be there for their special day. How about getting a card and putting in it a cute "IOU" coupon for a double "date" at a time of their choosing?

I suggest a buy a cheap card at the dollar store, they are 2 for 1.00 inside the card wish them the best of luck and how happy you are for them. If they know you as family knows family they already know, you have no money for a gift and your presence there will be worth more than any present or money you could give them.
GO AND enjoy your new sister in law :)

Definately go. Bring a card. Try and think of things you can give them that don't cost money. With weddings you can always send a gift later. Soooo. Go, enjoy yourselves and give them the best gift you can today - your love and support.

You MUST go! As a brother he has to go. His brother doesn't care for gifts.... believe me. Just tell him the truth. It's never too late to give them a gift when you can afford it.

Go to the wedding.Give a gift at a later date.They will understand & no one has to know what your gift is.They dont open the gifts at the wedding anyhow.

they invited you not a gift. however i do understand the embarrasmet in these situations myslef. you could always consider giving them something money just cant buy eg a poem, an offer of assistance with something they would value etc

The day after ; you send some one to tell the truth . To be poor is not a thing you should ashamed for !! You must be ashamed when you steal or cheat your brother !!! this should be a lisson for the future .
Let your brother see what I wrote !

buy them a card, make up your own "gift certificate" with something they might value (ex. "free full house cleaning anytime you need it"). That doesn't cost you money, but is a nice gift.
