It depends on what you wish the money to be spent on. If you want it to be used for the wedding it should be gifted 6 months to a year before the wedding date. If it is to be used for a honeymoon or for a down payment on a home it should be gifted 1-6 months before the wedding.
If it is a wedding gift and has no intended purpose it can be gifted shortly before, at, or shortly after the wedding.
No, but you can ask.
The groom generally pays for the honeymoon.
Yes/Si.
The wedding to do list for groom's parents include hosting the engagement party. They provide the couple with a list of guests and host the rehearsal dinner on the evening before the wedding. They may also contribute to some of the wedding expenses.

All families are different. Sometimes, but groom's parents pay for other things.
The best way to find out information on Albanian weddings is to see if you have an Albanian person who lives near you. If not then go onto www.ask.com or www.google.com and just simply type in Albanian weddings. They will give you a ton of ideas and information. Good luck:)

No, grooms do not get an engagement ring. Most grooms get a wedding band on the day of the wedding, but some grooms prefer not to have a wedding band because they may feel they will not wear it depending on what type of work they do ... some types of work can actually have machinery, etc., catch on a ring and tear a finger off.
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.
