Is it bad etiquette to give money (in the form of a check) as a wedding shower gift?

I know it is appropriate for a wedding gift. Is is appropriate as a shower gift? Please refer me to the site where you got your answer, as I cannot find any information so far. Thank you.

Do you give a shower and/or wedding/reception gift if you are not attending the shower or the wedding?

I moved across country recently, and a lot of my friends are now getting married back home. Since I cannot fly home for all of their weddings; I have been told that everyone understands that I will fly home for my oldest friend’s wedding and see everyone then. Do I need to send gifts to those friends whose showers/weddings I am NOT attending? And for the friend whose wedding I am attending; do I give her a shower gift (not attending) as well as a wedding gift (am attending)? I am SO confused and really cannot afford much because of our move across country. But I do not want to do the wrong thing and offend any of my friends, so I am hoping to get some proper wedding gift etiquette and advice!

KUSI Big Worms Big Give


www.bigwormscff.com Our mission at Big Worm’s Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to help ease the time for CF patients during hospital stays for frequent “tune ups” of IV antibiotics by giving tangible gifts. CF patients are referred to Worm through a social worker at Children’s Hospital. Donations given at Worm’s fundraisers will provide age-appropriate gifts on request such as Nintendo Games, laptops, MP3 players, guitars, DVD players and various toys for the little ones. Until a cure is found, your donations can make a difference in the lives of children with Cystic Fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic and progressive disease usually diagnosed in childhood that causes mucus to become thick, dry, and sticky. The mucus builds up and clogs passages in many of the body’s organs, but primarily the lungs and the pancreas. In the lungs, the mucus can lead to serious breathing problems and lung disease. In the pancreas, the mucus can lead to malnutrition and problems with growth and development. People with CF have an average life expectancy of about 32 years, although new treatments offer hope for longer and healthier lives.
