Pre-planning for my wedding even though there is a ton of time.

I know the bride’s side has to gift the grooms side presents. My parents were discussing to gift gold to the mom and the 2 sisters (I supposed this is as per tradition?). What do you gift the father and the bro-in-laws? And the sister’s young children?

Also do you gift the additional family members something too? Grandparents, khalas, mamis, chachis, phoppos, in sab kay husbands? And if so, what?

Also, in my gen Ill be the first one to get married and the last person to get married in my fam was my khala which was like 6-7 years ago so my mom is pretty clueless. Anyhow, I have seen that when my khalas, chacha/mamu got married both the valima and the bridal dress from us, as in we payed for it but the bride put all her input (for my youngest khala she just got it designed herself and the family payed for it).. However, in my case my fiance has told me that uski family mein they only give the valima dress.. is this how it is now? or is it because of the different caste? and if so, what will happen in my case is it going to go as per their tradition or ours? :S

Re: Gifts Gifts Gifts

I won't talk about gift giving because my family only gives suits to females of the grooms family, mother/sisters. Anything else is deemed nouveau riche lmao (I swear my extended family would judge folks for just about anything). Better stick to what you're comfortable with. Things have not changed that much in the past decade.

For me my mil is doing the walima, mehndi which is the norm. I have seen this combo a lot. Some of my friends had to do their own mehndi clothes as well so unfortunately I haven't seen much of the both dresses being done by the grooms side. You have a tough battle ahead of you if you want to do things your way.
