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!!

No one would do that in my family and my parents would never expect friends to pay for the showers. They wouldn't even let me pay for my sister's shower after I offered and saved the money for it.

My shower was beautiful and I see nothing wrong with a sit down meal for one. No one is expected to pay for anything at a shower. Guests come with gifts and the shower is paid for by whomever chooses.

She's sneering at the fact that you're single. Clearly that makes you inferior. :::eyeroll:::

that's where we're all different. I had my hair cut & colored (and highlighted) a few weeks before my 2nd wedding. Black french manicure on nails & toes. I also had my legs waxed so that they would be incredibly smooth AND I wouldn't have to do any maintenance on them during our honeymoon in St. Martin.

I did my own hair the day of the wedding.

Never been to the 1 hr. ones. It's the catering hall 5 hour deals here, lol. The one that I have been that was out of the norm was a civil ceremony at a park and it was a theme wedding with the groom dressed as a pirate. They had a big tent and it was nice but very buggy. lol.
