I'm definately going to bring a gift to the wedding...I already planned that. I just didn't know if I needed to get her a gift in addition to her wedding gift since I missed the shower.

If you did not attend the shower, then you are not ethically obligated to get a gift... but most good friends would do it anyway. If you are hard up for cash, then it does not have to be anything fancy or expensive.

A shower gift at this point is not necessary. But if the opportunity presents itself you might say something like "I'm so sorry I missed your shower, I bet is was wonderful" Also, you can ask her if there is anything you can do to help with the wedding plans. Your assistance might be the best gift ever and it costs you nothing.

I think you should definitely bring her a wedding gift especially since you did not get to go to her wedding shower. I know you are hurting for cash but its the thought that counts so just get her something nice and real simple , like a bath set and a card i'm sure she will like it.

Bring the gift to the wedding, or send it around then if you are not attending. There are also ways to get gifts that mean a lot but don't cost that much. Maybe a nice picnic basket with a bottle of wine inside, something that the couple can use together

If you didnt attend the shower there is no need for a gift. If you were in a better financial situation I would say its a nice thought. But it is not necessary.

Speaking for myself I wouldn't bother. If I am unable to make it to a shower, then I don't feel obligated to get a gift.
Ultimately it is really up to you, though. If you are really troubled by this, then get something small. Otherwise, forget it. She will get your wedding gift.

If you are giving her a wedding gift, don't give her a shower gift anymore.

i would not question the cardboard, i might question the presents. in case you have not have been given a particular present you already know is lacking using giver, you're turning out to be an undesirable time attempting to get this straightened out. using sentiments in touch, your new spouse would not believe your sisters. Is it a reason for a life-time of undesirable family. Ask her the failings she "thinks" are lacking. in case you are able to, replace it, like a mixer, etc. replace, go so a procedures as to forge a card, as those are relatives issues, comprise $10 funds, out of your sister if she helped out plenty. you're able to be forging a thief's signature. for romance, funds, and peace. combating a pair of card should not be well worth the time and difficulty. presents are of value, and your spouse is nervous. She could be afflicted approximately different issues, how close are you and your sisters. have they left you in peace following the marriage, do they call, or are issues left devoid of sturdy end. Whom did the sparkling=up? Have a dinner, buffet, along with your spouse and sisters, you are able to discern it out. i might make the peace as quickly as you are able to.

I don't feel that you need to bring a gift, but be sure to apologize for missing her special occasion! I'm sure she'll be delighted to tell you all about it!
