A Ring???????????
The father of the bride and groom can give the wedding gift to them the day of the wedding at home or, they can leave the gift on the gift table at the wedding reception. However, if it is of cash value it is better to give the bride and groom the money before the wedding.
No, the mother of the bride does not give the groom or his parents a gift, but just gives a gift to her daughter and new son-in-law.
No, there is no reason that the groom's parents need give the bride an additional gift over and above the gift given to the bride and groom. Some mother-in-laws may have a special piece of jewelry they may want the bride to have, but that is the mother-in-laws choice.
A luckenbooth brooch is a traditional gift.
flowers are always great to give to them, or a spa gift gard
The bridesmaid can give the bride a gift on the wedding day. However, sometimes brides will have a bridal shower, and if so, then that is when the present can be given.

Yes, it's still a wedding and the bride and groom are embarking on a life together that traditionally guests (including family) help them furnish with gifts. The wedding itself could be considered a gift but in certain cultures it is traditional that the parents of the bride or of the groom shoulder the costs of a wedding. When parents throw birthday parties for their children or children throw anniversary parties for their parents, shouldn't they still bring a gift? Of course they should!. If you are attending an event that people usually bring gifts to, you are not excluded. Even the bride and groom exchange gifts to each other whether or not one of them decided to pay for the wedding without the help of the other.
* You could give a wedding gift or, if you choose to give money you would give it to the Bride and Groom and not just the Bride. Generally money is given in the Wedding card, or, some Bride and Groom's have a 'Money Tree.' Give what you can afford and try not to second-guess what others are giving. Family generally will give more money than friends of the Bride and Groom.
It is not written in stone that a mother has to give her daughter a personal gift, but some mothers may have a lovely piece of jewelry that they have had or the piece was given to the mother by her mother and she may want to pass it onto her daughter. The mother and father of bride do give a wedding gift either the day of the wedding at home or, leave the wedding gift at the reception.
Be sure first that the bride and groom have not got wedding registries at different stores and if they have you can go to any of those stores and buy a gift and forget giving money. If the bride and groom to be have requested a monetary wedding gift then anything from $50 up is just fine. Don't break the bank over it.
If the father of the bride give the groom a large sum of money; a place in the father's business or land it is called a 'dowry.'
