So me and my OH have been invited to a wedding night do (whey) by his cousin, they're not close but we've been given 10 days notice🤣

Do we get a gift or?? I'm really not sure what to do this is the first wedding I've attended as an adult!!

HELP PLS!!

I’d put a tenner in a card.
You’re clearly invited to fill the space but it doesn’t mean you can’t have a nice time.

I would buy a bottle of champagne or a token gift.

catchyjem · 21/02/2019 21:02

Yes, get a card and gift. Doesn't need to be expensive. Something like a nice photo frame.

MrsJayy · 21/02/2019 21:02

I would also give them a bottle of fizzand go.

mammy0f0ne · 21/02/2019 21:21

We're definitely going! I'm looking forward to it just wasn't sure present wise

Only on mumsnet is it an insult to only be invited to an evening do at a wedding.

TokyoSushi · 21/02/2019 21:30

Yes, card & fizz will be fine

MrsJayy · 21/02/2019 21:37

I don't think the OP is insulted

Why is it insulting to get an evening invitationConfused. Anyway moving on. I agree with pp. A bottle of champagne or prosseco or even a nice wine. When I attended an evening do once I put several small bits in a pretty box with confetti and tissue paper. Candles and wine and chocs with a poem etc. Have a lovely time.

I love evening invites. I normally bring a bottle of champagne or a nice candle or some thoughtful token. Enjoy.

MaMaMaMySharona · 26/02/2019 13:55

Agree with PP's, I'd get a card and some champagne. I'd be thrilled to get that from any of our evening guests!

BlueMerchant · 26/02/2019 14:00

Agree. Card and fizz.

burnoutbabe · 02/03/2019 23:06

10 days notice for a cousin is a clear insult. It's very much, others have said no so you'll fill in s gap.
I may go if local but no way would I travel or fork out for a hotel.

BackforGood · 02/03/2019 23:13

10 days notice, for a cousin does seem odd.
However, if you can get there easily enough, I'd go and have a night out if I was free.
I would stick some money in a card.
Can't understand this thing on MN where people always say to take a bottle of champagne. Champagne is not a popular drink in my circle, so what couple wants to end up with 37 bottles of the stuff ? Confused
