Even if you are paying for the rehearsal dinner for your son's wedding you should at least get your son and his bride a gift and if this is not appropriate for certain cultural weddings and money is the gift then give only what money you can afford.
Before the Wedding Night
If his bride to be has no problem wearing his mother's wedding ring then it is fine to use the wedding ring for his future bride. However, if the son has sisters then he should get permission from his sisters as generally the jewelry of the mother goes to the daughters and they may want to keep it as a keepsake.
If your friends live out of town then you can ask and tell them you apologize, but with the way the mail service is you wanted to be sure if they did send a gift that you wanted to be sure to let them know you got it. If your friends live near you then 'no' you do not ask if they have sent your son a wedding gift. Sometimes people send wedding gifts on the late side. Your son and his bride should know by the wedding cards if they received a gift from your two friends or not. If your friends weren't invited to the wedding then it is up to their own discretion to give a wedding gift or not.
It does not matter where the wedding is held you should give a wedding gift. Since the wedding is in the Caribbean then you can buy them something less expensive.

Yes.
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.
There is no special monetary amount a father has to give his daughter on her wedding day. If the father is fairly wealthy he can give her a sizable amount of money; a home; piece of land, but for most fathers who work hard and have moderate means financially then give what you can and don't break the bank trying to impress your daughter and your new son-in-law. Your daughter will love you no matter what monetary amount you give her and her new husband. $100 to $500 is simply fine for a middle class person to give their daughter and son-in-law for a wedding gift.
