If one was invited to a catered birthday party, and if for a uncontrollable reason one could not
attend, would a gift still be required to be sent? I think yes. 

What say you?

I always tell the person that I can't make it for whatever reason I made up, but I do have a gift for them. It's the best way to get out of that shit without any feelings being upset.

I think good manners probably requires it, but I wouldn't be insulted if someone couldn't attend and I didn't get a gift.

I guess it depends on who the person is.

It also could depend on when if need to send a gift would be when one cancelled.
If enough time was given for one “not” to be included in the head count of dinners, 
then giving a gift IMO is optional. If one or two days ahead, then need to send gift.

I collect expensive broken crystal, I ship that out as my present and act upset if they have the audacity to tell me how it arrived.
