After reading OP's clarification, I take back my anal retentiveness and just want to say, yes OP you are being thoughtful and I'm sure you'll be a great guest, even if you're caught in the middle of a sort of awkward sitch. That said, I now fully agree with Amanda M, including card/gift strategy. I just don't understand people like brother here who bring friends (even if best friends) as uninvited +1's. I think it's rude to the couple who might have wanted to invite other people on their own accord who they feel more connected to and didn't crash... I guess the whole concept of uninvited crashers bothers me. It was annoyed when people did it for my wedding and I cringe when I hear about it for others'.

Nowhere does she say she's not grateful to attend the ceremony; she's worried about being a burden, which I think is a conscientious concern.
