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!!

So you have gone to a wedding where you didn't bring a gift.

Imagine this, sometimes people give a gift NOT out of obligation but because they want to.

Maybe "When warranted" comes in 57 varieties?

I went to weddings before we were engaged and I didn't personally give money. My dh (then bf) gave money for both of us.
Superbowl?? I have brought food but no gift. What gift would you bring?

Why should I bring an extra gift when I am a date (if this is what you are referring to)? My bf gave the cash gift for both of us.

I thought so, lol.


<<Did you not say that you had no recollection of you and your date discussing gifts? >>


Yep, it was 20 years ago and I don't recall.
