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!!

Well, first of all, it wouldn't be envelopes. Secondly, we wouldn't be handing it to the couple, we'd be putting them on the gift table, or might have them delivered ahead of time. Or might have given things to them in person before the wedding.

Sigh. As I explained before, in detail 100 posts ago, sometimes there is a gift that I want to give someone that has special, or deeper, or more significant meaning if it comes from *me*. It wouldn't have that same meaning if it also came from dh. Sometimes I'll think "Hey ABC wouuld be perforect for Ted and Barb." and dh will also pick something up because he saw it in the store and thought "Hey, this would so suit Barb and Tec." And we might give those as separate gifts, or we might combine and put both our names on both gifts, or package into one gift.
I have no hard-and-fast rules for gift giving. What I do varies according to each situation.
