Yes, it's still a wedding and the bride and groom are embarking on a life together that traditionally guests (including family) help them furnish with gifts. The wedding itself could be considered a gift but in certain cultures it is traditional that the parents of the bride or of the groom shoulder the costs of a wedding. When parents throw birthday parties for their children or children throw anniversary parties for their parents, shouldn't they still bring a gift? Of course they should!. If you are attending an event that people usually bring gifts to, you are not excluded. Even the bride and groom exchange gifts to each other whether or not one of them decided to pay for the wedding without the help of the other.
- Yes, the bride's parents generally will give a gift to their daughter and her new husband either privately or at the wedding. Because weddings can be so expensive the gift will certainly come from the heart, but in some cases the parents can only give what they can afford.
Most of the time, the Bride's parents pay for the vast majority of the wedding, which in itself is a huge gift. Additional gifts are often given, but aren't expected. If they did not pay for the wedding, then yes, a gift is expected.
- The bride and groom are the center of attention so no, it is not necessary for the bride's parents to give a gift to the groom's parents, but, both mothers should have a corsage and the both fathers should have a boutonniere (flower and greenery in the lapel of their suit.)
This is not usually the norm, so no, it is not necessary, nor is it expected. The only gifts that are customary are: * the gifts exchanged between the bride and groom * the gifts the bride gives her attendants (maid of honor, bridesmaids) * the gifts the groom gives his attendants (best man, groomsmen) It is appropriate to give a gift to the ones who help with the wedding, such as the one who helps serve at the reception, the one who attends to the guest book, etc. Although these gifts are usually less expensive than the ones listed above.
It is never a requirement to give a wedding gift; regardless of who you are or what you relationship is to the wedding couple. Wedding gifts are always optional.
It is the generally-accepted thing to do, but it doesn't have to be earthshaking.
