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!!

How do you know 2 was all that she knew? Maybe she just specified those 2 people but actually knew more.

Why did you then state that your original post stated those 2 things, when clearly it did not?

thank you. I already mentioned in another post it was a typo. We were going back and forth very quick.

Why would the date have to buy a gift for people she doesn't know and was only invited because her date knew the couple?

DH and I paid for everything ourselves, but then again I never said that a wedding would be less enjoyable if less money was spent.
