send a monetary gift or a gift off of a registry if you are unable to attend a wedding??? FH and I have a wedding that we are unable to attend but are unsure as to the etiquette simply b/c we've always went to the weddings we were invited to...

I think you could send either or. I don't know if you are supposed to or not. I know I have RSVPed NO to a wedding before because I can't afford to give them the money to cover the plate. I think that is why we have gotten so many no's to our rsvp's also... with the way money is right now everyone is broke. So I don't think it is neccessary but it would be nice. I defintely don't think you need to spend as much as you would if you were actually going.

I think either would be very generous of you. If they really need the money more, they can always return a registry gift.

If you RSVP no you are not required to send a gift according to etiquette. But it is a nice gesture, especially if it's close friends or family. Either money or a registry gift would be fine.
