- Parents of the groom should only give the bride and groom what they can afford and not worry about how much the bride's parents give or other guests give them. It is foolish for parents to put themselves into financial difficulties over a gift. They can always give their daughter and new son in law an extension on a gift during Christmas, birthdays, etc. If you know whether they need a bedroom suite then give them money for that (if you can afford it) or, if you are pinched for finances then give them what you can afford and they can either put it towards their honeymoon or keep it to save up for something they want.

Should wedding money be returned to parents if wedding is canceled?
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.

Should you have to pay for the tuxedo the bride ordered for your 18 month baby to be in his father's stepsister's wedding when the father is uninvolved and they knew you're struggling with money?
AnswerThe proper etiquette for a wedding is the bride's parents should pay for the wedding parties dresses and tuxes. However, this tradition is only practiced every so often completely confusing those that are in the wedding party.Technically no, you should not have to pay for the tux. You should have communicated this when your son was asked to be in the wedding party, but since you didn't then just be honest and tell them you can't afford it. If you can spare a little money then offer to put that towards it. It is the fault of the Bride and her parents for pressuring you this way.

Why would anyone spend an outrageous amount of money on a wedding dress they'll only wear once?
Some brides need to have the latest design in a wedding dress and if the designer is popular then the wedding dress is extremely expensive. For some brides it is more about impressing everyone around them than really thinking about getting married to the man they love. Some of the most beautiful wedding dresses have plain lines; some of the dresses may be rentals; have belonged to a girlfriend and the bride is borrowing it or a seamstress made the dress. The quote 'A fool soon parts with their money' relates to this question.
How much money can you expect from our wedding?
You can only expect money if you request it such as a 'money tree' instead of gifts. It's a tree with branches and the money is in the wedding card from a guest and then pinned onto the tree. You cannot predict just how much money you will receive. More money will probably be given by the parents of the bride and groom and with Italian and other cultures they can give a fair amount of money not only from the parents, but relatives.

Should parents give wedding gift when they have not paid for the wedding?
It's usually regarded as courteous for anyone attending the wedding to give a gift (and, in most cases, close family members will give a gift even if they don't attend). It's not legally required, of course, and if someone doesn't give a gift then the newlyweds will just have to suck it up and live with that. It would be unusual for parents not to give any kind of gift at all, but they might opt not to if they are strongly opposed to the marriage, as a sign of their disapproval.
