It's a young couple. I know both of them, but separately. They have a traditional gift list at John Lewis.
I wasn't invited to the wedding and didn't expect to be, but they're a lovely couple, I'm thrilled for them and they've both, through separate volunteering commitments, been really good to and for my DC.
So I asked someone I know who has been invited for the list and bought a small gift. It was genuinely meant to be a nice thing for nice people.
However, I've now received an invitation for all four of us! If we'd been invited I'd have bought a much better gift!
It's a midweek wedding in the school holidays, so I'm hoping they've slotted us in as second tier guests after some refusals, but I'm very embarrassed at the idea that they felt obliged to invite us because of the gift.
Will they know yet who's purchased what gifts? And what do I do about the value of the gift now we're invited?
