Best Man respeonsibility question

[merton69]

Hello.

Can anyone tell me when a Best Man gives his speech and says thanks/toasts to the Bridesmaids, does he give them a gift and if so who is responsible for getting/paying for it?

Thanks

I think traditionally the groom pays for the bridesmaid's presents.

I am no expert but I believe traditional etiquette says if gifts are given then the bride and groom gives & pays for them. Possible receivers being the best man, the bridesmaids, and parents.

But if you wish to give gifts don't let others stop you.

Or you could avoid all that fuss by pointing out to the happy couple that the wedding isn't a necessity after all.
