If this is a get-acquainted tea for the women of both families, no. Unless the Matriarch of the groom's family wishes to give to the bride-to-be a token of welcome, which should be done in an aside or private moment.
What else can I help you with?
Do dates need to bring a gift to the wedding?
No, dates do not have to give a gift to the wedding couple. Your date does.
Do you bring a gift to the wedding if you already sent a donation to the charity the bride and groom requested?
No. The same applies if you had a gift sent directly to them through a store. But if you feel you should bring something, a wedding card is always nice. And if you want to be sure they know about the donation (or to expect the gift), you can include a message about it in the card. Or you could take a bottle of Champagne etc., which is always a good gift for celebrating events.
Do you need to bring a hostess gift to an informal luncheon?

If you bring a guest to a wedding do you include the guests name on the gift?
Only if your guest paid something toward the gift. Otherwise no.
What is proper etiquette when a wedding invitation states your presence is the only gift required?

How do you deal with people who attend your kids wedding and don't bring a gift?
* The best thing to do when someone does not buy a wedding gift for your son or daughter's wedding is to ignore it. Some of these guests may well give a wedding gift later and those that don't then they have no etiquette and just remember that when it's their turn if one of their children gets married. It's not worth the energy to bring it up and is not proper etiquette to do so.
Do you bring a wedding gift card to the reception?
yes why not.a gift or a card with flowers it very sweet and nice.A bit more:While it would be ok to bring a gift card to a wedding reception, I wouldn't advise bringing flowers. To bring flowers as a gift to a wedding would be pretty awkward for the wedding couple to have to keep up with, find a place to put them where they won't be in the way or clash with her wedding/reception decorations.With flowers, they would have to find someone willing to take them home for them after the wedding/reception and, considering most couples leave for their honeymoon right after the wedding, the flowers would be wilted or dead by the time the newlyweds returned.But what you can do is to have flowers delivered to them after they return from their honeymoon.
Do you send a gift for wedding 3?
* It doesn't matter if a person gets married two or eight times, it is etiquette to bring a wedding gift which is usually left at the reception on a special table for gifts. If there is just the wedding and no reception or it's a reception at someone's home then leave the gift there for the couple.
Do you put both names on a shower gift for a wedding?
It is customary to purchase a shower gift if you are planning on attending it, or if the person purchased you one for your shower. As far as a wedding gift goes, if you plan on attending, plan on purchasing a gift. If you don't plan on attending it is completely up to you whether you purchase a gift or not. A card of congratulations, regardless of whether or not you purchase them a gift, is always welcome and a sign of good manners.
If I am going as someone's date to a wedding do I bring a separate gift?
* If you know the bride and groom to be then yes you should, but if you don't know them then it's up to your date to provide the gift.
What is it called when you give a gift after a wedding?
Etiquette states that you have up to a year after the wedding to get someone a wedding gift.
Do you bring a gift if no gift is on invitation?
When someone puts that on a wedding invitation, it's effectively saying, "you don't need to bring a gift". On the other hand, if they are a young, struggling couple, bring a gift of something that will help them get established. If you choose to, present it discreetly to avoid embarrassment to other guests who did not do so and to avoid seeming to show off.
