Re: Gifting gold to groom’s mother/siblings
We gave only my sister’s MIL a gold bangle !! A kada actually round 1000K pounds !! One and only gift !!
Rest all the family members got a pair of pure silver glasses ( drinking ) that we got made in Bombay. My mom was paying for the wedding so we didn’t do many elaborate gifts.
But I always feel its good to gift your future in laws reasonable expensive gifts (according to your financial status) during the wedding. It’s good etiquette. No matter how much a person says no gifts , everyone loves getting gifts. And people notice the value as well.
The only other time we gave gifts to my sister’s in laws was during the baby shower. That time it was just saris for all the girls and silver Lakshmi coins for all the ladies attending the function.
even though our traditions vary i love the idea of saris and coins
… its so cultural !! .. we forget all that nowadays n totally bargain for perfume sets and new fancy stuff..
