I'm curious, too!

I will be having another "wedding" next year, a full year after my Canada wedding. I don't imagine people will bring gifts, but it would certainly mean a lot to me if they did.

we are doing personalized coffee packages....each person gets 1 package of coffee with our name and wedding date and our fall theme....if there are lots of kids you could do individual hot chocolate packages??

I think that yes, it is standard to bring gifts, unless people are specifically told not to.

Some may not bring them, but many will :)

At home reception

Hey all.

I got married on June 2 in Ireland and my husband and I are moving home to Canada (he's Irish, I'm Canadian) in August. We are having an at home reception in September and I have a question about gifts. Before I ask, let me just say that I am NOT all about gifts!! I'm curious, however, if in your experience, guests give gifts for second receptions. We will likely be having an evening reception of hors d'oeuvres and drinks/cocktails (it would be an open bar, which is pretty standard where I come from).

Thanks!
