How gentle are you going to feel as the hours, days, years of finding nothing to say pile up? Don’t fear it so much that you check the “I guess it’s the best I can do” box. Dear Carolyn: I recently received a handmade wedding invitation from a friend who is somewhat of an ascetic. I like to give gifts for special occasions, and I think people deserve a nice present for a marriage. I would not have a problem "matching" the gift value with a contribution, but I really do not like the idea of not giving them a gift for themselves.
