my boyfriend and i have been dating for about a year now. we are pretty serious and we care a lot about each other. anyway! well i met his family about 3 months ago and i have been over about twice ever since. i don't really talk to his parents because they are always at work. his sister invite me to her daughters confirmation party (she is 9 years old) i have seen her about 2 times and barely poke to her, even though she is a nice girl. my question is should i go? and most importantly should i bring a gift? is it bad if i go to the family/friends party without a gift? i mean i barely know her. my bf already said its okay i do not need to bring one but i feel weird going without anything...if yes what should i bring?


thankyou for your time in advance.

Being invited to a family event when you are not engaged to that family member says a lot about how the family thinks of you and accepts you possibly as a future member of the family. While you are not obligated to bring a gift for the celebrant it would be nice if you did so.

If you wish to bring a gift then you should purchase something age appropriate and purposeful for the event or. If you feel this relationship is headed for the alter and you wish to be the fun future Aunt then you may wish to purchase something the celebrant may crave but may not receive from other relatives.

Of course the key here is affordability. You should not go into debt for a gift no matter how much you may wish to be looked at as the future fun Aunt. I wish I could be more specific but to do so would require more knowledge of how this family celebrates these events and more about the celebrant.
