Shocked! My tenants invited me to their wedding! Response??

[Mike B.]

Hi all,

Well there's always a first for things and for me, it's being invited to my tenants wedding!  I was totally surprised by this.

They've been in my SFH rental property for nearly 2 years now (and are staying another 2 years), take fantastic care of the property, NEVER have any issues with them etc. At any rate, I will respectfully decline their invite because we genuinely won't be able to attend, but I want to send some type of gift to them. They have a new puppy, I was thinking a small gift card to a Petsmart and also a check for $50 as a wedding gift.

I know, a bit generous by some standards, but feedback on a gift(s) to send to thank them for the invite etc?

We've had weddings in the backyard of one of our (5acre) properties but declined the invite. 

Not a wedding but some years ago our 'biker' tenants were having a pig roast in the large back yard. The wife wouldn't let me go. But next quarter I had to call the guys about the high water bill & have them check for a leak. But they informed me that it was for the above ground pool they put in for their girls to mud wrestle. I still regret not dropping by for the Pig roast. 

He was always a great tenant & has since purchased the duplex from us.
