It's probably too late for this advice to be useful in this particular situation, but it's not necessary for a wedding reception to be a catered, seated dinner. If the wedding takes place in mid-afternoon or in the evening, a reception of punch and wedding cake, maybe with some nuts and mints, should take care of everyone you could possibly invite, and no one's feelings get hurt.

It was very nice to include you in their wedding day. The wedding itself it after all, the main event and it is always an honor to be invited to one.If you go to a bridal shower, you are expected to bring a gift - but if you decline, you can forgo a gift. If you are invited to the wedding, whether you go or not, it is appropriate to get a gift. You should get them something nice and thoughtful - in a price range that your personal budget and good taste permits.Typically, I no longer bring the present to the wedding but have it delivered to the bride and groom before the wedding - you can usually get the appropriate delivery address from their parents. This makes it easy for the family as the day will be very busy and juggling gifts at the will add to their work load. In this situation, this is the approach I would take.
