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!!

Actually I believe sending a gift to the bride is proper wedding etiquette.

What you're describing is not so much a party as a group outing.
For most of us, a "party" is a social occasion involving a host/hostess and guests where no money changes hands. If you want to call a bunch of people getting together to do something where each person pays for him/herself a *party*, well, that's not a party in my book. Nor is it something anyone "invites" others to. What you describe as "invite", I'd call "organize".
