How can a guest give a meaningful wedding gift when unable to attend?

Direct answer
Coordinate a remote gift with the recipient so it reaches a suitable address and does not create an unwanted delivery burden.
Ask privately about timing and what would be useful, then use a seller or payment route you can verify. Include a message identifying the sender and retain delivery records without broadcasting the recipient's address. Attendance and gifting are separate choices; missing the event does not create a duty to compensate with a larger present. A thoughtful note may be more appropriate than an impractical purchase.
