Ok, with all the wedding talk and what to give for gifts, I am NOW, after going to weddings for almost 20 years-lol! invited to an outdoor wedding in someone's home.
Here is the scenario:
Bride and Groom (she 22, he 36)
Living together for over 3 years
Groom-12 year old son
Bride and Groom-have a 3 year old and she is due with their 2nd in August
Wedding:
At her mother's house-catered food from restaurant
I know in other posts I said I would probably give the same as a sit down reception but we were orally invited to this wedding so I assume they are doing this just to get married before the 2nd child arrives. I have NO clue now what to do about a gift-lol!!

Wow... so bringing a gift if you're "the date" is wrong and only giving $50" is wrong or sending a gift later is wrong.... how do you keep all these gift giving rules straight.
And for me, the point of 'why we're all here" is to live good life, be good to those we love, and maybe just maybe try to make some kind of difference -- which is one reason I can't afford to travel b/c I work in a sector that doesn't pay anything LOL.
Yes. We. Did.
I just know that when I was my dh's "date", I did not think twice on bringing a gift. Don't see I would be. When I was the fiance and wife, then yes.
I know about the "not paying anything" kind of job-lolol!!
