I am in the wedding party, and my brother said that fulfilling those obligations (buying the dress, etc.) was enough.I already gave them a shower gift, and my brother knows I don't have a lot of money. Still, I'd feel like I was being cheap!Thanks in advance for your advice.

You can donate your time and assist them in preparations for the wedding (i.e. help put together favors). And/or you can buy them a nominal gift from their registry like inexpensive hand towels for their bathroom, or a can opener. Or a house warming gift like nice smelling candles. You don't really have to buy them anything else. I wouldn't expect my bridesmaids to. But what I need is help getting ready!! It sure would alleviate some stress in the next two weeks before the big day!

yes you should still get him something. You can give a gift that's meaningful even if it isn't expensive.

Give whatever you are comfortable with. Since you have already spent a considerable amount on other expenses dealing with the wedding either get him a smaller gift from the registry or donate to a charity in thier honor, perhaps breast cancer research or some other organization that may hold significant meaning to both him and his new wife.

Get them a beatiful card and make a donation to a charity or cause that both the bride and groom are interested in on their behalf.

Your brother just wants you to know he doesn't expect anything from you. Maybe instead of buying a gift you can make something really heartfelt that won't be expensive and would show him that you care about him. A collage of pictures? Something funny from your childhood together? You don't have to spend a lot of money to show him that you love him. Good luck!

Don't feel bad about yourself being Cheap. I'm sure your brother loves you and knows about your current situation.Still, if you want to, Buy him a Gift without telling him. Surprise Him at the day of His wedding.Honestly Speaking, the best Gift that you can Give to your Brother on the day of His wedding is You giving your love and support to His new found Happiness. Give your Brother also this: What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put Asunder.God Bless...

You should get him something for the house, something for the kitchen.

Sometimes the nicest thing you can get someone doesn't have to cost a fortune. As long as it comes from the heart! Think more creative, something from your childhood (Like his favorite lollies) or something to make him laugh. Your his sister he'll appreciate it more than some cooking utensil or a bowl he'll never use!Good Luck and have fun at the wedding!!!

I think the shower gift was enough, but I know what you mean. Get them a card for sure, with a nice little note, and maybe see if a couple other people in the party will get together with you and get a gift certificate for someplace.
