i m not talking about a DJ, I m talking more about if I were to Hire a cellist or violinist to play background at a company party or wedding reception.

What kind of gift would I send? It is a 2nd cousin I played with as a kid so I was not expecting an invite or anything since usually just 1st cousins are asked but I still wanted to send a gift.

As said I am not upset about not being asked or anything, just wanted to reach out and connect. Wedding is in June.
