Guest Of An Invited Guest

I wouldn`t think so. I would suppose the invited guest should give a present. I would consider you the date of my guest or friend(depending on the situation). I wouldn`t expect one at my wedding!!!

I would say definately.....they could either go in together and get you something or by themselves, either way you are giveing them a free meal, so its kind of like them re-paying you. Everyone SHOULD bring a gift or at least a card is they cant afford much more than that.....good luck

Your wrong Eliza, as a guest of the invited you are not required to bring a gift. The invited guest would certainly do so but then this also is not required or as you put it a PAYBACK. I`ve never really considered myself an expert in ediquette and still don`t but when I started reading these posts I realized my parents taught me simple manners growing up that I guess others didn`t. You are just that a guest of a guest you are not required to do anything. Go and have a good time. Your date will provide the gift (and as I stated before even this is not required!)

Eliza and Jemmy both have great points... I would also consider it "manners" to bring a gift, although true it is not "required". I would do what you feel most comfortable with. If you know the hosts well, then it may be best for you to at least bring a small something. If you don`t know them that well, then maybe sign your name on the card with the person you are going with. OR simply tell them congratulations. Which ever you feel most comfortable doing.

I would suggest talking to your date. Find out what they are giving as a gift. If it covers the cost for both of you, then dont worry about it.

If you think about it, it saves the bride and groom time and money this way. They dont have to try to figure out who you are and they dont have to spend the money to send you personally a thank you card.... They just gotta worry about the invited guest that they DO know.
