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!!

Because it was a gift giving occasion and she felt like giving a gift; end of story, I'd say.

Well I don't know anyone who would bring 2 cards. Makes no sense as you are inviting So and so and guest. It was one invitation, why wouldn't it be one gift?

It's not that nobody understands why you wouldn't bring a separate gift to the shower. It's that you don't understand why others might do things differently.

How would you recycle the card when you have written on the inside? I know people keep wrapping paper but when I get it so cheap at the 1/2 off store, I don't bother. I WILL recycle gift bags I get though-lol!!
