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 no definitive number? How can you say that 2 isn't alot then? As I said I think it depends in what one is talking about. 2 murders are alot, 2 drunk driving convictions are alot, two vacation homes are alot.

Because the definition is:

American Heritage Dictionary of Idioms - Cite This Source
a lot

Very many, a large number; also, very much. For example, A lot of people think the economy is declining, or Sad movies always made her cry a lot. It is sometimes put as a whole lot for greater emphasis, as in I learned a whole lot in his class. It may also emphasize a comparative indication of amount, as in We need a whole lot more pizza to feed everyone, or Mary had a lot less nerve than I expected.

or

Kernerman English Multilingual Dictionary (Beta Version) - Cite This Source
a lot

a large quantity or number

Satisfaction in life, doing things with one's life, having money, spending money, and thrift are all completely independent of one another.

I know people who never leave town, but then I don't think I have ever judged them as not living life as you have.

I think this whole thread has turned into a strawman. Debates take different twists and turns. If you don't want to debate it, fine. I just find it ironic, is all, lol
