Just wondering... do you change how much you give as a gift towards a couple if it's just a cake and punch reception? My cousin is getting married in a few weeks and there will be no dinner or alcohol, just desserts. Wedding starts at 6:30pm on a Friday night which is going to be difficult but we'll be there. If you were in my shoes, would you give less than you normally give to a couple getting married? I feel like a terrible person for asking. I just want to get others' opinions first! Thanks!

    Thanks for all of the advice! I'm glad some of you understand my internal struggle. Lol. It is petty for me to think that way so I'm going to just bite the bullet and give the same gift as I would to any other family member. Thanks again everyone!
