gifts from parents

Is it common for a parent who is contributing money to the wedding to also give a gift to the couple (in this case the parents can afford it)? Thanks!

I believe so. In all cases I have known, the parents have bought things for the couple even though they were paying a large part of the wedding. Though I am honestly not expecting my father to do that...

my parent's paid for our wedding and also gave us gifts. My mother gave us all of our china and my dad gave us a very nice monetary gift.

Re: gifts from parents

I find this as kind of an odd question especially if it is a gift from people not a gift from you?

I would never expect a gift from my parnets or from FIL's after contributing

what else could We want

together they got us a generous engagement gift
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY CAN AFFORD IT OR NOT
