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.

∙ 14y agoIf you mean, "when parents give money to the wedding" you mean that they are helping to pay for it then YES. I believe etiquette says that they should still get you a wedding present; all guests should get you a gift althouh they may or may not.

∙ 14y ago* The tradition is that the bride's parents pay for most of the wedding and also give the bride and groom a wedding gift. However, due to financial problems in these modern times sometimes the bride and groom can help out by either helping to pay for their own wedding or, having a smaller wedding.
