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!!

That's not proper at all. A family member cannot host a shower.

Have you been to different kinds of weddings? Have you been to a wedding in NY? Just asking because I wouldn't have a clue about weddings in the south as I have never been to one so I couldn't make a judgement about them.

I agree. I think I looked the best I ever did on that day.

I live in the southeast and nearly all of the weddings I have attended since moving here have been the same as the ones in the northeast.

Sure they would. The bride's parents pay. Small price to pay to get her out of the house, and all that.

Why would anyone want to look like they do on any old day that they rolled out of bed? It's silly.

Maybe they look really hot when they roll out of bed.
