You can give them their presents then or at some other point. It's up to you. Some couples do it at the reception, some do it at the rehearsal dinner. If you're not leaving on a honeymoon from the reception, you can do it after the reception. Basically, it's whenever you can fit it into your schedule.
The rehearsal dinner tends to be the easiest to give out all the presents - like those for the parents, the bridal party, you name it.

Honestly, in this day and age when brides and grooms write their own rules and do weddings their own way, you can give out gifts for parents and in-laws whenever you want... If you want the gift to be public and appreciated by your family and friends at a fun party (your rehearsal dinner), then go for it! However, if the gift is more private -- or if YOU are -- then find a special moment to be with them ...and give away!

You can if you want, but it should be something from the heart and not that expensive. You can also wait until after you get back from your honeymoon. This isn't the time to spend a ton of money (especially if they are paying for the wedding), but something simple like a picture frame would be great.

No it's not a given... A lot of people give their bridesmaids and groomsmen presents then, but like someone else said if you wanted to.... A pretty framed picture of the two of you, or even writing something to say to them should be fine.

I did. I found two books about how great a mother and a father are that had a lot of neat quotes in them and our framed engagment pictures. They are paying for or putting up with your wedding aren't they?

I've never seen this done--but I'd imagine it's a nice touch. I gave both of my parents cards on the day of my wedding thanking them for their help, love and the example of a strong marriage they set for me. You and your future husband may want to consider that. It's inexpensive and heartfelt.

Its your wedding, , there is no specific rule... I got married a month ago and I only gave gifts to my wedding party. But like i said, its your wedding, do everything your way. If that makes you happy: do it.

This is up to you. If you are very close with both then I would do something meaningful, maybe a picture of you and your fiancee framed.
