When I sent my RSVP for my co-worker's wedding, money was tight but I could afford to show up with a gift. Since the RSVP, however, my boyfriend's mother was became ill, requiring 24 hour care, then she passed away. My boyfriend was her primary care-giver, and, needless to say lost quite a bit of time at work, forcing me to pick up the slack financially (we live together). Now with the wedding approaching, I don't have the money to give them a gift (I did attend the bridal shower and give a gift). I really want to be there to see them get married and I think it would be just as inappropriate to back out with the wedding so close, especially with it being a very formal sit-down dinner. Any suggestions?
