Wedding Gifts
Well this is a conumdrum, Adam and I have been together for nearly 13 years, and pretty much have everything we need and then some! So what is the etiquette around this? We have been to some weddings where the couples had been together for a number of years or it was their second marriage. One couple opted for Farmers gift vouchers, and another monetary gift. It made it a lot easier than trying to decide on what to get when you do not know necessarily what they already have or need. Common sense prevailing, first and foremost what is important to us is for everyone to be there to celebrate with us. After much googling and consultation with friends, as we are loathe to offend this is what we have opted for:
Because at first we lived in sin, we've got the sheets and a rubbish bin
A gift from you would be swell, but we'd prefer a donation to our Wishing Well!
Any monetary gift will go towards something that will always remind us of our special day. .

Children
Children of guests from outside of the Wellington region who will need to bring their children are welcome to attend the ceremony.
However, they will not be included in the Reception. The venue is in a rural location, there are lots of rooms and outside areas for children to disappear to. The balcony has a long drop from it. Thor was 2 weeks old when he attended his first wedding. My friend hired a professional nanny to look after the babies in a room nearby the reception which enabled parents to enjoy the reception, and pop out to go feed/check up on their baby. This worked really well. The Lodge has accommodation so this may be option for those who have babies. Any children at the Lodge must be supervised at all times. For the older children - and this includes our own we are thinking of hiring a professional babysitter to take care of the kids back at the house after the ceremony is over. Once I have confirmation of how many will be attending and for those who are interested in these options please let me know so I can organise this.

Update: Adam and I will have another room booked which we will be using to get ready in, this room can be used for babies/young infants to sleep in etc during the reception.
