A1.
Some couples choose only to send the gift list out to the people
who are invited to the day and this is perfectly normal. If
you omit the gift list from the evening invitations then anyone
who does want to buy you something will ask you anyawy so if
you do not feel comfortable about putting the gift list in the
evening invitations then I would leave them out.

A2. Normally you
would send gift list information out with all invites including
evening.
However another alternative is having a simple
line on the invitations saying "should you wish to buy
a gift for the bride & groom please contact our wedding
planner (or designate someone from the wedding party) ".
Hope this helps

A3. If you
don't want to send out gift list information with your invites,
then don't! You could always send out gift list information
to people once you know they are coming, but that doubles up
the postage.
If you don't send gift list information, be prepared
for enquiries asking for what you would like, or for guests
not knowing what to get,not wanting to bother you, and you ending
up with 3 toasters!
Again, with evening invites, if you want to give
your guests some assistance should they want to give you a gift,
then add the details. Most guests won't think you're being presumptuous,
infact, they'll probably be glad of your guidance.
Very best wishes.

A4.Yes,
you should send out the gift list with the evening invitations
as even your evening guests will want to buy you a gift. The
key is to make sure that you think about the varying budgets
for your guests The secret of a successful gift list is to accommodate
people who have a range of budgets to spend'

Something that has become very popular here in the states is
adding a note that says "gift list avaliable upon request"
that way those that want one can get it and those that don't,
aren't felt pressured! best of luck.
