We’ve been invited to a pretty cool destination wedding in Tulum, Mexico, which means both of us taking off time from work and paying for airfare and hotel (that will give wedding guests a slight break in the rate). My question is this, do we still have to send a present from the bridal registry?

Yeah, you have to look at this as a vacation. They’re providing you with a fun filled adventure. Not to worry, you’ll have plenty of time to send a wedding present, because you’ve got a year from the date of the wedding to send a gratuitous gift from their bridal registry.
