Who do I give gifts to at my wedding?

Question

I'm planning on having servers, ushers, and the bridal party and will give them gifts, but I'm wondering about others. Am I supposed to give them to our grandparents or any specific guests?

Answer 1

Well if this helps, at my sisters wedding she only gave the gifts to the bridal party (which 2 grooms men where the ushers) and that was about it. She didnt give it to her parents or grandparents or even freinds because it just would be too expensive and unfar to other people.

hope this helped

Answer 2

We're only giving those in our wedding party gifts. Ushers and servers (not sure what those are, but each their own) are not getting gifts. Only groomsmen, bridesmaids, BM, MOH and parents are getting gifts.

As for grandparents, it would depend on how close you are to them. If you're really close, get them a picture frame with the intention of putting a wedding picture in it once you get them from the photographer. We're not super close to either of our grandparents, so we're saving those things as Christmas presents for them (September wedding here, so it works out well).

Guests do not need a gift, even special ones, unless they are doing a reading or contributing something to the ceremony. Guests receive the favor and the meal and drinks for the night as a thank you for attending. An additional gift, while gracious of you to  think of them, is unnecessary and will create more stress for you.

Answer 3

Usually the Bride provides gifts for her bridal party and the groom does for the ushers and best man.  As far as others i.e. servers, etc.  I don't think that is necessary.  Perhaps just write them a nice note or card expressing your thanks for their help.  You may want to give your parents and grandparents a picture frame and then a wedding picture after you order and receive them.

Answer 4

I am giving pictures to my grandparents. I didn't give them anything else. Maybe framed pics. Other than that, you should give something nice to your minister/photographer/planner/dj. Anyone who is directly involved with the wedding.Tips are always good

Answer 5

Just the bridal party, unless someone went above and beyond or paid for a large part of the wedding (like parents) otherwise use the money on the wedding or honeymoon.

Answer 6

the bridal party and parents

Answer 7

Normally you give gifts to your bridesmaids and everyone else gives too you!  You don't have to give presents out to say thanks for coming. I know its a sweet jester but its also one that will break the bank.  Your grandparents will be giving to you! There happy to see you get married.
