Miss Manners' Etiquette Dilemmas: Gift Giving, Social Media, and Thank You Notes

TL;DR Summary
Miss Manners advises against completely ignoring second, third, or fourth weddings and suggests sending a "best wishes" card as a gesture of acknowledgement. While it may be tempting to withhold gifts due to skepticism about the success of these marriages, it is considered callous. For those on a limited budget attending showers, Miss Manners recommends affordable gifts such as bibs, diapers, and onesies for babies, and potentially for newlyweds as well, depending on their wedding plans.
