If you had a close working relationship with them during the planning process, it would be nice to get them a small gift to show appreciation but don't feel obligated. A heartfelt thank you card and promising to be a great reference in the future will do just as well.Also a Master card gift card is also nice.
There is no official reason why someone would receive a rock as a wedding present. Perhaps the rock was a gag gift.
You can give your fiance his wedding gift the day before the wedding or on your wedding night as it should be private when the two of you exchange gifts.

* No, you do not give a wedding gift when you are invited to a wedding, but please reply on the small card with stamped envelope to let the person who invited you that you will or will not be attending and tick where there is a guest you are inviting or your husband or boyfriend. If a woman then you give a gift at the bridal shower and of course a wedding gift which you would leave at the Wedding Reception.
* No, the host is giving the wedding shower for the bride and the bride is the only one that should receive a gift. If you are the bride and feel you want to give them something then send flowers or send a thank you card to show your appreciation.
If you have not been invited to the wedding then you should not send a gift.
People give wedding gifts show their appreciation for being at their wedding and sharing that great day with them. All of the guests that appear to enjoy it should receive a gift.
Well, if I'll hire a wedding planner, I will surely give her something special - a token of appreciation. For example, a box full of chocolates or a collage of her pictures while she's helping me with the wedding planning. (Stolen shots would be great option). Haha. A thank you card can be also nice. :)
Yes, if there is a wedding in a church and a reception then you should give a gift even if it is a third marriage.
If you were invited to the wedding and can't make it because of traveling plans then yes, when you get back you should send the couple a wedding gift.

Not sure about the BEST but a great gift is a goal planner. Marriage is a point in one life where as both an individual and part of a couple it's important to really think about what we want to make with the rest of our lives. You can buy a well designed goal planner at AGoalPlanner.com I think they only cost 10 bucks and it has never failed me as a gift in the past.
