Thanks for the responses everyone and feel free to keep them coming.
Like I mentioned, I haven't been to a wedding in a while. Most of my friends, and myself, could married within a window of a few years. Since then, Ive turned down a few wedding invites while still sending some "token" gifts where it wasn't realistic for me to attend.
My goal in "gifting" at a wedding has always been to cover the costs incurred and then enough to be left over for a gift for the bride and groom.
I could get into my views about the commercialization of weddings as a money making entity for couples but I received views points that gave me enough to think about.
