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'm sure I can think of some more. Well, yes, I heard my neighbor the other day yelling at his sister that he hasn't been on vacation in 20 years. They sit and drink in the backyard every weekend. Hmmm..I am sure I can think of some more people if I needed to. You don't know ANYONE who never leaves town?

"give 'em enough rope" is a figure of speech. It is no more a creepy celebration of suicide than "keep your nose to the grindstone" is an invitation to self-mutilation."

LOL, if you say so. You sounded sort of triumphant posting that. wow.

How could he, he doesn't even own a computer-lololol!!!!! He still watches a TV that MUST be at least 25 or more years old, antenna on the roof and all.

And yet you've had plenty of family fun anyway. Which is the point. With wedding receptions, as with vacations, it is not necessary to spend enormous amounts of money to have fun.

Agreed but I would enjoy going on a nice vacation then spending it in my backyard or the local park. I like the experience of seeing new places and if I had the money to do that, I would be doing it all the time.

I see nothing wrong with doing what one wants to do,
