our reception will be in our backyard...we are friendly (but not friends perse) with our neighbors. I have spoken with both on either side to see if they had any concerns about our reception being here...etc...no problems! I don't mind inviting them (but do not wish to imply a gift is expected- it isn't)...but I was considering a "thank you for putting up with the chaos" gift for both...a basket or something- what do you think? suggestions for gift? or is it unnecessary? (parking is going to be off-site, we have an agreement with a nearby business for our guests to park there)
--------------------
You are being very respectful to your neighbors for talking to them and making sure they are prepared for your reception. I don't think you should invite. But, a "thank-you for putting up with the chaos" gift is very nice. It's not expected, but a very thoughtful thing to do and I think a gift basket it perfect. Or, you could bake them something if you don't want to spend that much money. Getting along and being courteous to your neighbors is very important. I don't think these days people are nice to their neighbors like they should be. Acknowledging that your reception will be an affair with lots of people, noise..ect to you neighbors and then letting them know how much you appreciate their cooperation is a very nice and respectful thing to do. There should be more of you in this world!
