What i mean, is.. Would it be likely for people to give you wedding gifts if... You already live with your fiance and have a baby together? Ive been wondering that for a WHILE.... Would you? How likely is it?

I lived with my fiance for 6 years before getting married and we recieved lots of cash and cards...we only recieved a few gifts...you will probably recieve the same. after the wedding was over alot of our family told us they got us gift cards so since we already lived together and we could choose what we wanted.

Yes. People who come to a wedding give you wedding gifts. It's customary whether it's the first wedding, second wedding...or more.
My best friend just got married for the 2nd time. She has a daughter (who's 8), owns her own home, and her and her fiance were living together. They got plenty of gifts, and even registered.
So, if you have a wedding, yes, it is customary to get gifts!

I have always been taught that the gift is a celebration of the event, wether it be a baby shower, wedding or birthday.
I also know most people consider wedding gifts to be a kind of ticket to the reception, so depending on the size of your guest list and type of reception, it could vary.
The only people who would be adimant about not giving some kind of gift seem like it would be because they disapprove of your situation, and you don't need that kind of attitude on your wedding day.
Good luck.

If you have a wedding ceremony, a reception I see no reason why you shouldn't receive a wedding gift from guests that you invite. But, if you just go to the Justice of the Peace and go to Vegas for your honeymoon, don't expect wedding gifts in great numbers.

Yes, I would say a good majority of people do. Just b/c you already live together and have a baby doesn't mean you have everything you need. Some people will recognize that and give you a gift. However, some people may not give. It really depends on your family and friends. If they are giving, non judgemental people; they will probably give.

Regardless of your present lifestyle, traditionally when people receive an invitation to an event such as a wedding, shower or graduation that is your cue that a gift is expected. It matters not how long you've lived together or how many children you have, it's the event that is celebrated.

a present for the bridal bathe is needed. although, even as receiving a wedding ceremony invitation, it isn't carved in stone that anybody has to carry yet another, extra formal present; yet, maximum people do. you're visitors of the bride and groom and for this reason are not any more anticipated to carry a present to the marriage. a lot of people get this incorrect and placed registries in wedding ceremony invites, that is a significant breach of proper wedding ceremony etiquette. Registries bypass in bathe invites merely. After having suggested this, the weddings I attend are in a great number of cases kin or very close friends and that is my own desire to provide a bath present and a wedding ceremony present. in case you do not desire to purchase 2 presents it truly is fullyyt as a lot as you.

Well, you wouldn't be having a traditional wedding because of the circumstances, so if you are worried about gifts, sheesh.... Your family and close friends would probably gift you.

Yes. If they attend your wedding, they should give a gift.
