Rehearsal dinner Gift? HELP!

Ok girls..here's the situation, I need your advice!

One of my close guy friends is getting married next month. I have since hung out with his finacee but am not close with her because she is almost 10 years older than me and my girlfriends. Nevertheless, I was invited to her bridal shower (cannot go b/c it's my b-day and I already have tickets for a show) and her bachelorette party (cannot go, same day as my family engagement party).

My guy friend called me last month and asked if I would do a reading at his wedding, which was thoughtful and I accepted. Now, I'm also invited to the rehearsal dinner.

Questions: Do I need to bring a gift to the rehearsal dinner since I'm not really in the wedding? Or at the wedding, should I give something more since I am a reader? Or should I send the fiancee a gift since I am missing all her parties?? I did give a nice gift at their engagement party and now I have no idea what to do now.

I've never heard of bringing a gift to the RD either...but I would send a gift for the shower even if your not going to be able to attend.

no gifts at RD...

I do think it would be a nice gesture to send her a gift off her registry tho

you don't need to bring a gift to the rd, however, i would send her a gift off her registry for her shower

as for the wedding gift, i would base it off of what you would normally give at a wedding, and then add some, since it sounds like you're close to this individual
