We’re Polish living in Germany and were invited to a wedding in India by a friend of ours. The groom is Indian and the bride is Mexican, to make things more complicated. It’s planned at the end of November. That’s the first time going to India for us, we don’t know much about the culture. We don’t know what we should get them as a gift. What would be a good idea for a gift? What’s traditionally gifted there?

There’s supposed to be another wedding in Mexico next year, to which we’ll also be invited, so in case you have any ideas for that wedding - feel free to chime in already!

Thanks for all the responses!

    I went to a Sikh wedding a while ago, the groom’s family was Sikh and the bride’s family was from Vancouver. After the service the bride and groom sat on the floor while people talked to them from behind. As they were turned to talk to the people behind them everyone else would pass in front of them and leave money in their laps. There were no gifts.

    They also did a North American type reception a few days later and there were gifts for that but they were registered.
