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!!

You mean something that costs enough money for others to be able to assume a good time was had by all? You don't want to make the mistake of assuming money equates to fun.

Right, it's relative, as in your example of 2 murders on one street.
To say that 2 is alot is correct then, thank you.

Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they are born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.

I can't get a TV to last that long!! We had to buy a new one at the end of the year because our 3-4 year old TV just decided to blow on us one night! I buy name brands too so they will last longer.
I can't imagine what his TV looks like now as 15 years ago the picture was sooooo bad-lol!

However, it's not a lot when you keep it in the context of the debate.
