Dear Abby,
Here's the story, We have been invited to a close relatives country backyard picnic/wedding receiption for this Saturday ( I know, its a boating day). The wedding took place some time ago in a small court type setting. Only the immediate family attended. Both newlyweds have been previously married in the past. The newlyweds along with their families are the best you could ask for and we are looking foward to the event. Here is where I need your thoughts.
Am I to assume a gift is expected and if so ,how do you base the amount of the gift since no hall type (major expense) reception was in place. Should that even matter when determining the gift amount.
Thanks!
