I have a French cousin getting married in July.

We were invited but can't go.

Any suggestions or etiquette on what to send for a wedding gift? I'm assuming I can't send them a card with a check. Can they deposit my check similar to how we do here?

The wedding info didn't have any registry info.

If you lived in France before, what are some stores where I could see if they are registered.

I read an old The Knot thread from 2006 and it said its customary to send household gifts.

ETA: found this article. Says registries aren't common and usually the gift is cash.

The link in interesting, if true. Their parties go until 7am!! Wow! Kinda sad I'll be missing this one. I hope I can go to my other French cousin's wedding next year.
