Question regarding wedding invite...
This is sort of wedding related...
FIL's family were invited to a wedding (their sons' sister-in-law's wedding- i know confusing) ..The invite went out to the family...Now they have a huge family...so FMIL assumed the whole family had to go...meanign all her children and significant others...Total of 9 people went including FH and myself...Although there was only one invitation - i thought it would be proper for FH and I to give a card w/ a money gift separately from the family.
FMIL thought it was wrong because we only received one invite for the whole family. I understand her point, but i would have felt wierd going up to them and congratulating them empty handed...plus I really dont want FH's family paying for me going to a wedding....
i may be wrong...but i felt more comfortable giving our own envelope.
What is proper? Is their a proper etiquette for this?
