Yes, she is wearing the dress she wore at the "chosen few" wedding two years ago. Her son is almost 2, and he will be the ring bearer (for a nonexistant ring exchange. He's just going to be in a little suit and carry a pillow around during dinner).
The bridesmaids are wearing real "bridesmaid" dresses. I am assuming that there will be just as many groomsmen.
I like the ideas you all gave. Especially the wine. After all, the invitation says:
"It's never to late to Celebrate! Let's Celebrate the life, love and marriage of ----- and ----"
Thank you every one for the suggestions!! My sisters and I were at a loss on this one.

You've gotten a lot of good ideas - an etiquette book, a college fund, a bottle of wine. All these options seem like more than the couple deserves. The problem with giving an etiquette book in this type of situation is that the couple probably won't recognize the hint. If they're that removed from what's appropriate, they won't understand why they're getting that particular book. Even after they read it.
Since it isn't a wedding, and since there isn't a reconfirmation of vows, it just sounds like a party. I think I'm leaning towards the bottle of wine. I'd be tempted to open it while I was there, too.
