Yes, if there is a wedding in a church and a reception then you should give a gift even if it is a third marriage.
If you were invited to the wedding and can't make it because of traveling plans then yes, when you get back you should send the couple a wedding gift.
Yes, I do. It's called courtesy. If I was invited in the wedding and I am not attending it, that's my problem, so they don't have any fault. So why shouldn't I give the wedding gift. I'd surely give it.
It does not matter where the wedding is held you should give a wedding gift. Since the wedding is in the Caribbean then you can buy them something less expensive.
If you attend the wedding or the reception you should give a gift. It's not required and you don't have to give anything if you don't want to. ---- In polite society, gifts are NOT to be expected. Giving a gift is optional whether you received a gift from them or not, whether you go to the reception or not. The invitation is to join them in celebrating the event.
Etiquette states that you have up to a year after the wedding to get someone a wedding gift.
I know you're doing a lot, but you do need to give a wedding gift.
Yes.
It's usually regarded as courteous for anyone attending the wedding to give a gift (and, in most cases, close family members will give a gift even if they don't attend). It's not legally required, of course, and if someone doesn't give a gift then the newlyweds will just have to suck it up and live with that. It would be unusual for parents not to give any kind of gift at all, but they might opt not to if they are strongly opposed to the marriage, as a sign of their disapproval.
Sure, why not? Anyone can give a bride a wedding gift.
