Combined Engagement/Housewarming gift etiquette?

Hi All, We have recently become engaged after 11yrs together and also purchased our first home with plans to do a combined engagement/housewarming. Our new apartment is small and we have purchased all the things we could possibly desire and all we really want is peoples company and at most libations. That's it! We are not secretly hoping to get gifts or money, we just want to celebrate with friends and family. However, we have already been getting questions about what gifts we want so my thinking was that if people really want to give us a gift that I would gently suggest a pot plant as I desire to make my large balcony into a green oasis and currently have zero plants. If people still decide to buy us a traditional gift, that is of course lovely and but not expected. My question, is this a polite thing to do and how would one go about doing it? We have lots of family and friends with limited means and I want them to be exited to celebrate with us and not have to worry about gifts

Secret wedding help?

Hi, my partner and I have been together for 16 years this June. We have never married and are considering a surprise wedding at a bar my brother owns. We aren’t engaged and aren’t the type of people to have a huge party but we want to invite a lot of family and friends and impress that it’s an important event but not give anything away. The only people that we would tell would be our parents, our best friends (a couple who would be our wedding party) our eldest daughter and my brother (venue owner) What I need help with is how to set up the invitations and what the plan would be or an idea for a party.

Is it weird to invite someone's partner if I know they are having problems?

She isn't living with him and is withholding their children... so should I even bother inviting her?
