Is it normal, customary, or expected for the father of the bride( me ) to give a wedding gift....if he paid a good chunk of money for the wedding?

Ha it's ok to laugh. I'm honestly conflicted and not sure.

Part of me what's to smile and point around at the venue, staff, drinks, services, etc and say, ""there!"

Should I still get them or her a gift?
 
What’s your heart tell you brother? I feel like if I have to ask, then I already know the answer but I’m seeking another opinion to alter my thought. I could be wrong, but it feels like your heart says give her a token of your love, you’ve been preparing for this moment all her life.
Just my .02 fam.
 
The best gift you can give her and her husband?

Is to help make sure the day goes well and be there for the bride.

go to each table and greet ALL the guests (apologize if they haven't seen the bride yet)

Make sure everyone is tipped.

Make sure any envelopes are taken thanked and delivered to the couple

And make sure to speak to them both and give them your love blessing wisdom and advice.

And let them know you will be there for support if needed.

And congratulations to your family and the beautiful bride

I wish the couple nothing but health wealth and happiness.

You did good bro.

Congrats on your daughter getting married.

Do what will make baby girl happy.
 
Since the groom has been and will continue banging your pride and joy, you can help them out with a lil gift now, or save it for when the grand baby is en route, lol.

Congrats! :cheers:

Hell nooooo.....all you have to do is point your finger at all of this and tell anyone this is their gift.

What's custom isn't custom,fuck that you are who you are and you set the standards cause I'm sure back in the day it was a family event and everyone did a little something but to just be giving gifts to give,nooo cause your daughter might need you again and you might have to GIFT HER A DIVORCE LAWYER.

Right on........ Hell, I was about to say thank you for this and I remembered I don't have a daughter...... LOL
 
Recommend a pre-nup especially in this fly by night era.

Fuck a gift, put up the down payment for the house and make she is the primary on the documents. Or put up the seed money for the kids college and long term market accounts.
 
my funky ass first mother in law. told all her rich friends to give her the money they would give us so she could pay for the wedding which was sorry as fuck. the buzzard lied about everything we got to the venue and was like :eek2::roflmao2::roflmao3:she did have a Christian DJ. I lucked out when one of my daughters married a female they knew not to look for shit from me.

You are a good father because if it was me, I would have told her to go get married at the courthouse. Because I am slightly cheap.
 
Congrats to your daughter, I wish her nothing but happiness and a long healthy marriage.

Get them a small gift and subtly remind them that they should be grateful that the wedding isn't taking place in the kitchen with the table moved to the side.

Uh you already did your job bruh,

Now your only job is to give her away and be support

if she needs any advice...

Did you give them the talk yet, sit them both down, and let them know,

marriage is just the start of the journey, it takes TRUST, LOYALTY and COMMITMENT,

tell them things like NEVER go to bed angry at each other, promise they will always

talk things out and COMMUNICATE..... etc..

but bruh your job is pretty much done... All you gotta do now is show up!!

Now IF you do HAVE the money to spare after shelling out thousands for that

special day.. then sure go for it...

Personally, I would pay for the honeymoon, but thats just me, I like organizing and planning shit...

Especially iteneraries..

the key is dont do too much you aint tryin to set yourself back bruh...

a homie of mine told me his daughters wedding was over a hundred geez...

and most of the money went on the gown and food/drinks...

he said the designer gown cost damn near ten thousand dollars bruh....

and if you are a bruh or latino, you know your DJ gotta be on point.....

and they aint cheap unless you know them.. or they just looking to get their feet wet..

anyway

Congratulations on giving away your Princess bruh!!!! :bravo: :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

this is going to be YOU at the wedding
