Party Time

I've been getting invited to a lot of events lately. It seems that weddings, birthdays, and open houses are popping out from everywhere. Some I can't wait to go to, others I don't want to at all (Jilly--I can't wait for your wedding, you are not included in this bunch).

Are you obligated to get a gift to every event you are invited to or only the ones you go to?

Case in point, my brother-inlaw's little brother is graduating. If I'm invited to the open house (which I don't know if I will be yet even though its only in a couple of weeks) and I don't go, do I still have to give a gift?

What about for a wedding that you aren't going to, but the rest of your family is? How do you know what's proper in all these cases. I'm sure there's some book or research I could do on the subject, but I don't feel like it.

Any feedback?
