I received an email broadcast requesting mailing address to send me a wedding invitation from somebody whom I hardly know.
I was in Malaysia recently with my husband and we met the fiancee (Ms. X) of one of his business contacts over dinner. Actually, the guy is a sales engineer from a supplier but doesn't even deal with my husband directly. He was just there helping to host the dinner.
Ms. X was very friendly and pleasant. We exchanged email a few times because we are both divers.
She has asked for our address to send us their wedding invitation. The wedding will take place in Bali.
The way I was brought up, it would not be proper etiquette to invite someone whom I had only met once to a wedding. We have no plans to attend the wedding. Any advice from you ladies out there?
What would be an appropriate gesture on our part to the happy couple?
Thanks.

you don't need to do anything except rsvp your regrets. of course you can include a warm note or card of congratulations but you aren't obligated to do more than that.
