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 just find it...odd that you would spend so much money one things like weddings and birthday parties given the things I've read regarding your views on money."


Weddings and birthday parties are experiences to me.

You're welcome
She seems to be in shock that a poster doesn't take yearly vacations. That they can also travel, sightsee and experience cultural events in their own city!

I guess, if one is not paying attention to the context of the debate, that could happen.

"I did what I wanted with no regards to cost, I just have simple taste I guess."


Wow, what a blessing.

I guess because I have a budget so I usually spend the same amount for birthdays, showers, etc. I try and save money by buying gifts for parties my kids are invited to as there is only so much money.

It was already pointed out that I confused 2 posters.
