    There have been so many changes made to my wedding, but the newest change is that only my 2 sisters and his 2 brothers (instead of all our siblings) and his mom and my father would be the wedding party. So, who do we get gifts for? I had already ordered a initialed tote, matching initialed cosmetic bag, intialed siver plated charm bracelts and manicure sets for my 2 sisters and his one. Now that my bros aren't offical groomsmen I am thinking getting them initialed beer mugs and his bros flasks and a beer mug for my father too. Do we have to get our mother's and his Dad a gift too? I thought a handmaid vintage hankerchief for his mom and I am not sure about mine and a flask for his father too. What are you doing? Plz explain!

     

    Sorry it was meant to say the groom's mother and father and the bride's mother and father!

     

    Fixed it!

    We're getting gifts for all of our parents -- we're doing framed engagement photos with the promise of a small wedding album forthcoming after the wedding.  My parents are paying for the wedding, so they obviously required a generous gift.  FI's mom is paying for the rehearsal dinner, hence a gift for her and her husband too.  FI's dad isn't contributing anything since he can't, but we still wanted to honor him with a gift anyways.  Are your parents contributing to the wedding in any way?  In that case, I definitely think a gift would be in order...

    Well my father has put in a few grand. My mother can't. And his parent's aren't supposed to, but I am sure they'll end up paying for something. We did say to our parent's that we wanted to pay for the wedding ourselves bc we didn't think it was right for his parents to pay if mine can't.

    We got gifts for all our BM and GM.  All of our siblings are in the wedding party so there was no question there.  We are getting gifts for our parents as well, even those who aren't contributing.  Our officiant is a family friend so we are getting something for him as well.
