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!!

<<I don't see why you would bring 1/2 or a whole gift.>>
Again, I said nothing about 1/2 a gift, I don't know where you keep coming up with that, let alone why you keep mentioning it.

Actually I believe sending a gift to the bride is proper wedding etiquette.

so you HAVE been to a party sans gift.
I don't understand that either. If someone is friends ~ or even somehow acquainted ~ with the bride, then the bridesmaids would've invited her to the shower. THEN she'd give a gift.
The thought that the entire burden of gift giving falls on the &Guest person ~ who wasn't invited to the shower ~ is definitely something I've never heard of.
