good luck

Answer 6

I don't know but ive been to ten weddings and at all of them the father of the bride received something.

when i got married my step dad gave me away and we got him something.

I think you should as he has done something to the day and if everybody around him receives something then why shouldn't he!!

Answer 7

I've seen many rehersal dinners where the parents of the bride and groom get gifts.  Usually as a thank-you for helping to plan and putting up with our stress kind of thing. lol  but yes, the parents all usually get something. (NOT the same as the attendants)

Answer 8

I bought my parents a gift together.  Its a silver picture frame with our names and the date of the wedding.  You can do what you would like, but sometimes the groomsmens gifts are not approopriate.  IE my dad doesn't drink and the groomsmen are getting flasks.

Answer 9

I don't think they do but if you want to give him something as a way to say "thank you" or "you're special to me", you can. :)

Answer 10

We gave both sets of parents a gift at the rehearsal dinner--a nice frame with one of our engagement pictures in it.  If you're saying thank you and "I appreciate you" to your friends, why not cover your parents too?

Answer 11

Traditionally, the parents of the bride are given a joint gift (one gift for both parents), as well as the parents of the groom.  Some examples are an engraved picture frame that says the bride & groom's name on the top, and "Thank-you mom and dad!" on the bottom, or whatever else you can think of.

Answer 12

No, usually the best man, groomsmen and ushers all receive the same gift, the maid of honor and bridesmaids receive the same gift, and then the two sets of parents receive a gift (sometimes but not always the same as each other) as a thank you from the bride and groom.

Because you're giving the parents a "couple" gift, it's not necessary to give the FOB a separate gift as if he were in the line of groomsmen.
