I'm very curious. What did your parents and what did FH parents give you as a wedding gift? If they paid for the wedding or part of the wedding did they still get you a card? If they contributed nothing financially to the wedding or rehearsal did they give a gift?

Re: wedding gift from parents
Both of our parents were extremely generous and paid for everything for the wedding and we paid for the honeymoon. DH's parents gave us a card and $ as a wedding gift and my parents gave us a card and paid off the remainder of my student loans from grad school as a wedding gift since that was what we would have put some money towards anyway.

My parents: About 1/3 the cost of the eparty, half (?) of my shower, the RH, and a check in a card IL: 2/3 the eparty, the RD, a check double what my parents gave us in a card.

Re: wedding gift from parents
My Parents paid for about half the wedding, then each gave us (they are divorced) a $$ gift in a card as a gift. Paid for my shower as well
FH's parents paid for the rehearsal dinner, no card for the wedding but gave us a very generous check 2 weeks before the wedding to help with expenses.
