Evening Invite Etiquette Quandry!

Hi

I wouldn't Lisa but that's just me. Wouldn't bother me if I did get a gift list but personally I will only be putting the gift list into certain day invitations.

How are you doing?

Old family tradition with us is; if you're invited to the whole shebang then you give a gift. Any time Ive been given an evening invite and the present list has fallen out i've been gobsmacked!

i'm not even going to mention gifts when i hand out the invites...... I quite like the thought of recieving whatever. Mother knows we want vouchers for an array of DIY stores and home places so....

Not sure about the etiquette but I've never been offended if I've received an evening invite with a gift list.

However, we're probably not going to be including any reference to gifts in either our day or evening invites. My mum and MIL2B will be given details of our list should anyone ask and we'll put the info on our wedding website.

I feel cheeky asking for anything. On the other hand, knowing my guests they will ask us if we have a list or what we want anyway!

We aren't having a gift list but we will be putting our info onto the guest info so all guests will get the same IYKWIM

In my opinion having a gift list isn't saying we want a present. Its more to let people know what you would like if they are kind enough to get you something. I have always bought a gift or given cash/vouchers when going to an evening wedding althou usually less than a day wedding because its people I know less well.

We have put gift list details in for the night but have chose some cheap things so that people have a choice if they do decide to get something. And we would rather have things we can use than things we don't need. I don't think its rude to put it in a suggestion of what to buy if people are buying something and a lot of people might find it useful !
