    See I am from the South ... and we are taught never to go anywhere empty handed. A bottle of wine or a bottle of coke; a bunch of flowers or a box of cookies... it is just taught as "good manners" here. I feel uncomfortable going to someone's home without at least a card... I like the idea of the pie and borrowing the tablecloth. You made them feel welcome that way. You are such a good hostess !

    Tacky? One of the cousins threw a lavish 50th Anniversary party for her parents, catered food, rented hall, registered gifts ... only problem was her parents were BOTH dead. Her mother died in the 80's, her father died about five years prior to the "party" A Golden Wedding Anniversary is to celebrate that a couple has remained wedded (even if not blissfully) for 50 years. If it had been done as a "remembrance" kinda of thing ... or the gift to be donated to charity ... but if was just creepy. One of my sisters "accidentally" planned her sons' birthday party on the same day .... giving all of us a reason to be elsewhere.

    Wow, this is the epitome of tacky. I think such a get-together is very disrespectful!

    Whoa....with regards to the 50th anniversary, who exactly would be receiving these gifts??? Strange.
    As for the question of the OP, if you parents want to attend then they should take a small gift. I am thinking a gift card. If they don't want to go then a gift would not be required. I personally don't think there is anything wrong with having a small reception 3 years after the wedding...ok as long as there isn't a bridal dress, veil and tossing the bouquet. An invitation does not mean you are required to attend.

    We asked the person planning the party that several time - never got a satisfatory answer - told one of my sisters "It's stuff mom would have wanted" ???? Are you planning on leaving it on the graves at the cemetary in the ancient tradition of "grave goods" I could see if they were going to donate the gifts to a charity - womens' shelter or an auction for a chosen organzation. I think little Lucy just wanted new "stuff" and thought of a way to get presents. :smh:
