Wedding contribution/gift from parents to child questions
Permalink   
 

Ds3 is the first of our kids to get married and the wedding will be late spring/early summer.  No plans yet, other than they want a very simple small wedding.  His fiance is from another country and will be moving to the U.S. at that time on a fiance (K1) visa.  She has no money at all and there won't be any contribution from her family. 

I know this varies by family and financial situations but I have no idea what we *should* contribute to the wedding and give as a gift.  I feel like this is going to set a precedent for my other kids and I want to be fair.  DH is retiring at the end of the month and we have a ton of medical/dental expenses (probably around $6,000 this month), but we do have plenty saved.  

I'm wondering what others did for their kids' weddings and gifts.  And, for those of you with more than one child married, did you keep it pretty even between kids?

Wow, it's interesting to hear about the different traditions and expectations surrounding wedding contributions and gifts in your family! The mix of perspectives and practices adds such a unique touch to each family dynamic. Also, the clause in your late aunt's will is quite thoughtful in ensuring her daughters' security.

Have you considered incorporating wedding videography into the mix? It could capture all those precious moments and become a timeless keepsake for the newlyweds.
