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!!

Did she say you *should*? No, only that sometimes people *do*; YMMV.

She said she DID give an extra gift. I don't see the point when your date is giving a gift for both of you. I can see if you are that close then I would be invited to the shower and give a gift there. I was not invited to any of the showers that I was a "& guest" to.

I just don't see why someone would bring 2 gifts when you are invited as a couple.

That has nothing to do with my experience though.

With his track record, she will probably be back on the market any day now, lol.

Didn't you say you brought your own gift?
