I'm invited to a wedding and have like no money, Can I go without a gift?

Sally's answer:

 Not to worry, you have up to a year to send a wedding gift.  As a precaution, take your camera and get a fun shot or the couple.  Just in case if you don't have money within the year, you can send them a beautifully framed photo and a nice card.

Michele's answer:

Are you ready for this?  According to traditional American etiquette, wedding gifts are purely optional. The book of etiquette answer varies, but most agree that if you choose to give a gift, you have up to a year after the wedding to do so.  If you really have no money at all, try to think of something meaningful that you can give the couple.  Can you knit, are you an artist, photographer?  Can you sing?  These more personal gifts are the most memorable. My personal feeling is that unless these people are extremely selfish,(why would you want to go?), they invited you to their wedding because they want you there, so dust off your dancing shoes.
