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!!

So again, who are you talking about?

We have traveled in the past and I don't regret spending one dime doing it. They are memories that will last us forever.
I'm going to have to order that one.

That doesn't answer the question she and I have each asked you several times. Who are these people that act in such a manner?

I'll have to disagree. Maybe that family of four realizes that the relationship they have with the bride/groom isn't worth more than $50. And they'd rather take the other $250 and do something MEANINGFUL with it. Like give to an poor family member. Or donate to their church. Or toss in another night on their Mexican vacation. Or or or or

<<I try and have a balance of spending AND saving. I am not impressed if someone has tons of money in the bank and does not spend a dime. There is times to save for your future and there are times to be a little generous to the people you care about.>>
AGAIN, what is that you are doing with your money that makes your life so much richer than the people that you are putting down?
<<I don't think it is very impressive when someone says they have this much or that much money in the bank and did nothing with their life. >>
Again, Who has said this?
