" My husband and I just received an invitation to a destination wedding. We want to make the trip, but it&amp;#039;s pricey. If we go, do we also have to buy a wedding gift? If you can afford a present, that&amp;#039;s great, but it&amp;#039;s not required in this case. P.S. Given the cost of attending a destination wedding, some brides and grooms assure guests that their presence is their present. If they don&amp;#039;t mention this, it&amp;#039;s up to you to decide whether to bring a gift. If money is so tight that the cost of the trip makes it tough to give even something small, you may want to reconsider attending; you could send your regrets and a gift instead. But if you can afford the trip, check the couple&amp;#039;s registry for inexpensive options or give something creative later: an album of snapshots from the wedding or a small donation to their favorite cause.
