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!!

....and I asked about travel only because Hazel brought it up as a point that "there are a lot of people who never venture out of their town".

<<She seems to be in shock that a poster doesn't take yearly vacations. >>
Nope, never stated anything close to this.

Weddings and birthday parties are experiences to me. I'm all about experiences.>>
Me too, but for 30 grand I can create a whole lot of experiences. I'm getting stuck on the idea of spending that much on ONE experience.
This is directly related to cost of living in the geographical area where one gets married.>>
Oh, seriously. Nobody NEEDS to spend that much on a wedding and no matter how many times you or Hazel insist that its necessary in your neck of the woods I'm just not going to buy it. If one has $30k+ to toss on a wedding (that supposedly is for the couple and not to impress the guests) than they should have no need to cut corners.
I guess, but if one has simple tastes and doesn't want a big Cinderella hotel type wedding...it's easier to accomplish, lol.

Since I don't recall, I doubt it.
