I have a quick question on gift giving. Our friend's son is getting married. We aren't invited to the wedding, and didn't expect to be. We don't know the groom well, although socialise with the parents quite a bit. He's older and lives abroad, and have only met him a few times. Anyway, I wanted to give a card and small monetary gift anyway, as we do know him and are friends with the parents, just to wish them well. My husband said not to do it, that they will think it will make them feel bad for not inviting us. Now, I'm not from the UK, so maybe it's a social convention that I don't understand here or my husband is talking out his a***.
Brides/grooms, would you feel bad if you received a gift in this situation? I don't want to step on any toes. Thanks so much for helping!
