I think it all boils down to everyone not wanting to look cheap. As soon as one jerk breaks the rules and brings gifts, everyone else will feel compelled.

IMO it boils down to your brother. Did he say no gifts but is secretly expecting gifts and he only said that to be polite? Or does he truly not want a gift because you're forking out a grand or two to attend his wedding?

If I was you I'd only buy a gift if you want to and can afford it.
