Hi Ladies!
I've seen posts about whether to have separate invites for the ceremony and the reception, and people who wanted to invite guests to either one or the other, not both. I've been invited to an acquaintance's reception. I've stalked them on here, they have a very minimal website but it looks like they are having a wedding earlier that day. There is no listed gift registry. FI and I are unable to attend, but we still need to give them a present. The invitation for the reception is also minimal and elusive so I don't know how expensive of a party they're throwing. (Because I should be offsetting the cost of what our meals would cost, right?) Do I contact them and ask where they're registered and have to admit we're not making the trip out, send a gift card for Target, BB&B, Macy's, etc, or try and talk to mutual friends (though I have no way of knowing who might be a part of the wedding party or invited to their ceremony or reception or both)?
Suggestions? If anyone can help me, you all can! TIA!!!
