In a traditional wedding where the Bride's parents, pay for the wedding, certainly. Cash or checque in the amount that you can afford, along with a small extra gift of a personal nature for the new couple's home together. DON'T over-extend yourself, as your bridal couple and parents should have some awareness of each other's financial condition.
Not necessarily. My husband and I opened things received at the wedding later, after the wedding. We definitely didn't want company!
Usually not in the UK.
No I have never heard that. There's a old custom that the bride's parents pay for the wedding but in these days many couples pay for everything themselves.
No it is not mandatory. Some parents (could be the bride to be's parents) may have the groom, bride, their parents and the wedding party out for dinner in the evening a few days before the wedding, but this is not mandatory either.
There are many things that can be written in a wedding card from parents of the bride. The letter should include well wishes for the marriage.
Traditionally no. The bride and groom enter as Mr. & Mrs. followed by the wedding party and the parents can follow behind or go ahead and mingle with the guests before the bride and groom enter the wedding reception.
The parents of the bride are very hapy.
Sex!
they do, gosh
Traditionally, the bride's parents have paid for the wedding, but this is much less adhered to nowadays. It is quite OK for both sets of parents to contribute if a mutual arrangement is reached, or for the bride and groom to foot or partially foot the bill.
If the parents have paid for the wedding and reception and the wedding is canceled and the bride does not have the funds to pay her parents back for the expense then unfortunately the parents are stuck with the bill. If the bride can afford it then yes, she should offer to pay it back. The parents may decide not to take the money or they may be happy to receive it. If the parents gave the bride and groom money before the wedding to put towards a honeymoon; towards a house, etc., then yes, the check or money should be given back to the parents.
its supposed to be the groom/his family. sometimes the bride's father will pay, but never the bride.
AnswerYou say congratulations to the groom and best wishes to the bride
On the wedding day, the bride starts early in the morning with the wedding makeup and hairdo. Bride and groom get dressed at their homes (usually in their parents' homes). The groom, groommen and parents leave for the church. Bridesmaids and bride's mother also leave first to the church. Bride and father come a bit latter as the father leads the bride down the aisle.
