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!!

"Do you enjoy being out of place? Wouldn't you at least like to know what traditions you're going against before you do so?"
I know this wasn't directed at me but I have to say I mostly LOVE being the oddball -- always have -- probably why I went into theater. And if I brought a gift and there was no gift table I'd probably say "well then, where would you like me to put this?" and be dont with it. I certainly wouldn't be mortified b/c I wasn the only one who didn't bring a check...shrug. I like being different... ;-)
Yes. We. Did.
I agree. However, I didn't have people traveling from all over the place to see me and celebrate at my wedding.
Wait: I take that back. One of my best friends came 90 miles. She actually came back to our house after the reception and we talked for a couple hours. And dh's best friend flew in from Alaska. He came in a day before the wedding and stayed 3-4 days. We spend a lot of time with him.
"Why is it absurd to think that at a restaurant shower everyone pays their own way? At every restaurant bday party I've been to everyone has paid for their own meal."
I frankly find it absurd.

three words 'five thirty am"
thats when I get up to ride or work out on the days I don't have Liza (she spends a week with me and then a week with her dad) I ride early in the mroning and am back by 7am to get showered and get to work. On the days I DO have Liza I try to go to the gym on my lunch hours. On show days I'll often go to the gym late in the afternoon when I know I"m going to be here until 11 at night.
and I am compulsively neurotically organized.... LOL
Yes. We. Did.
