I've just received an invite to an evening reception and the parents of the bride (who have sent it) have enclosed gift registry details. I've known the bride most of my life, we're vaguely related through my aunty's marriage and I know she's on a strict venue capacity so it went without question that I'd be buying them a token gift.

But now I'm wondering if this is the norm. I'm feeling bad enough giving a list to people who have asked what we'd like, do people ask/expect evening guests to turn up with a gift too?
Is anyone here sending gift lists out with their evening invites?

I've never known this happen before hence me asking

Oh... Never thought of that... good one for me too... we are having a slimer type of problem... limitied amount to the legal bit so the after party is our main event....

so if its just for an "evening" then I shouldnt put give thing in the invite...?

I was thinking about leaving out all together of both invitiation but then as I know people will want to get something I dont want to end up with a load of diffrent vouchers for randome shops and stuff... oh that sounds so ungratful... but I think you know what I mean....
