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!!

<,Not if you give that much for a basic family birthday gift.>>

What? I shouldn't give a $50 wedding gift to friends if I spent more than that on my kids' birthday?????

I'm so glad I don't live in your world.

If you did not see that post or the other one of how much money people have, then you would not know. It was just a bunch of people trying to impress each other how much money they have.

Why would you even go to a wedding that the couple did not mean more than the amount people will spend on a birthday gift?
