Hi everyone,
So just wondering I know there are gifts exchanged between the families, any idea to whom on the grooms side should gifts be given to besides the immediate family (parents, grandparents, siblings)?
I ask because these days its seems its less about customs and more of an independant assessment. Could anyone share their experiences and what kind of a budget they created for this? Id appreciate the input.

Re: Wedding gifts for families and guest
You’ll just have to ask them or someone close to them. Each family does their own thing. In my mother’s family men get nothing and they refuse if offered but in my father’s family they do give gifts to men so they had to be given shalwar kameez at my parent’s wedding.

I know people do this, some don’t, and many are really do it for the sake of it. It is up to you if you all if you want this headache.
My understanding is that parents, immediate siblings, their spouses and if any children, and grandparents are the only ones who receive something. Additionally if there is a special person in their life , raised them that sort of thing then they too. Otherwise, Mamus/Mamis/ Chachas/Chachis are not included in this rasm/gift giving ..seen it happen in some very, very elaborate weddings. or weddings where laina/daina is huge.

Didn’t give anything to them.
Re: Wedding gifts for families and guest
Thank you for your help guys, asking the inlaws wasnt much help.
Led to a situation where they asked for nothing but it felt like its expected cause in the same convo they mentioned how other weddings in their family have been.
But I think I will be putting my foot down, have been reading all the post about unburdening our parents and and you know it makes sense, just cause someone expects it we dont have to deliver and also placing that kind of expectations on my parents especially at the start of a marriage sets impractical expectations for the future. If we do something it should be to show love and welcoming not some social expectation dictating it.
Its all still up in the air. Will share my experience once it all comes togather 
Thank you again!

Good for you, dulhan! Let’s hope more girls follow suit and put an end to this ridiculous tradition.
