Lifestyle Wedding, Fashion & Beauty

At the end of this month, it is the wedding of my dad’s best friends daughter. My dad’s best friend died a while back because of cancer but we are still close to the family. The marriage is a love marriage as such.

What my question is that what do you give as presents? What is the tradition these days, fashion or what happens these days. Me and my family haven’t really been to a wedding since like years and years so we are a bit outdated.

Money? Chocolate boxes? Clothes? What?

And also is there a separate present for separate functions? Like what for mehndi, nikah and reception??

Cash/Salaami...that's it. No separate gifts needed at each function.

We usually buy something from the couple's wedding registry. If they don't have a registry then we give a check.

No separate gifts. Just 1 for the shaadi/reception day.

Cash is usually the way to go. The closer you are to the couple, the bigger the amount. How much depends on you and your financial abilities.

^same. We give either cash or cheque too.

Unless its a really close relative's wedding, then we gift gold or pitch in with the bride's family with one of the jahez items. (Since we don't have a registry in pakistan)
