| No it is not required for them to buy gifts. The gift is them purchasing their attire for the wedding. It's not actually required for anyone to buy a gift its something you do out of kindness... |

| you are never "required" to give anyone a gift but I think it would be in poor taste not to give a gift. SIL - is wrong. |

| I would say yes since usually if you are in a wedding, then you are close to at least one of the couple and would WANT to get them a gift. |

| I had 3 out of 10 give monetary gifts to us but honestly I was kinda shocked that I even got anything from any of them. They spent money on the outfits we wanted them to get and the girls gave shower gifts and they did bachelor/bachelorette parties too. Lots of stuff goes on behind the scenes by the wedding party. |

| As someone once told me the best gift you can give is time... I did give gifts when i was in the wedding party but i am not expecting any... although once you know you are going to be in the wedding start saving your money especially if you are out of town...Dress- $50-250.Alterations-$60.00shoes-$20.00hair and makeup$40hotel-$75-180.travel-depends on how you get there car,plane,busand gift-$50-100.00The look on your face when you get the pictures back realizing the dress you were made to wear makes you look pregnant- Priceless LOLthe best gift i ever gave someone was a scrapbook filled with their memories i made! |

| No you are never required to buy a wedding gift, whether you are in the wedding party or not. The gift should actually be saying "yes" to being in the wedding party.But, you can give a gift to the couple if you want to.I am a bridesmaid in my SIL's wedding and I plan on giving a gift. She is my bridesmaid in my wedding and I do not require or expect a gift from her or ANYONE in my wedding party. Their gift is them saying yes. |
