Two friends of mine were recently married in April 2001. Their wedding was out of town and I was unable to attend. At that time, I sent them a generous gift from their registry. In a few weeks I will be attending a brunch in NYC which planned by the bride and groom for those guests who were unable to attend the out of town wedding. Brunch will be held at a hotel on a Sunday. Do I have to buy another gift and if so what type of gift and how much should I spend? I have known these 2 people for a number of years, however I would not consider them 'close' friends.
thanks

I agree too that one gift is enough. If you'd like to get something else, just so that you don't show up empty handed, how about a reasonablly priced picture frame or a bottle of wine and a nice card saying that this present is in addition to the wedding present that you got them and you hope that they enjoy both.
Anyone remember the rest of that wine poem? Cute idea! *NM*
give them wine glasses and 4 bottles of wine each bottle with it's own ribbon and label the 4 bottles...
FOR YOUR FIRST FIGHT
FOR YOUR FIRST NIGHT
FOR YOUR FIRST HOLIDAY
FOR YOUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY

One gift is enough..too many parties for a wedding
I sometimes disagree with all of this celebrating for a wedding. I don't mind getting & giving gifts, but it turns out to be a lot for the attendees. Between engagement parties, showers, and weddings it's too much. We skipped the engagment party for that reason. Family only for that one.
