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!!

I didn't like doing those either, believe me. In the end though, a shower at a restaurant means a lot less work for the bridesmaids, less cleaning, less need to make sure everyone's glass was full, less worry about awkward pauses in conversation, etc. So, it can have some benefits.
But it *can* also be a little stuffy since everyone kind of sits at her own table and doesn't necessarily mingle as much.
There doesn't have to be a point.
