Just bring the gift of your precious presence at the ceremony.

It's not required that you, as the date of an invited quest, bring a gift. But! What is your relationship with your escort and what is the relationship between that person and the wedding couple? Do you and the guy plan to get serious? Is this his brother or sister or best friend getting hitched? Do you think that in the future you will be friends with the couple getting hitched? Are you flush with cash or are funds a little tight for you right now? if you have the money and you are a generous person by nature then what the hell go ahead and buy them a nice gift. Picture frames always come in handy. But then again if you were a big spender and didn't want to buy a gift you would not have asked the question HUH.

Nope. The invited guest brings the gift.

Was he told he could bring a guest? If not, you should not go. It is very expensive to have a wedding and extra guests are a burden. If he was told that he can bring a guest, yes you should bring a gift. It can be from both of you.

No, the invited guest should bring a gift and have their name as well as their date or guest's name signed to the card.

You don't have to, and if I were having a wedding I wouldn't expect you to bring me a gift if you didn't know me. The person you are going with should be the one to bring the gift, and that gift should have both your names on it, just so you won't have to feel left out. If you want, you can always chip in a little bit of money to buy the gift, but it's not neccessary. Really it's up to you.

It would be very polite and blessed. Really, nobody has to bring a gift but they kind of should. Get a nice gift, not for babies because the couple might not even have one, who knows? Is not a baby shower, something you would like on your wedding day as a proper wedding present, maybe for a new home or something, something nice. A frame for their picture? Try what you think is decent and nice. Also, you may get a nice card, all you really have to say is like, "Congratulations on your big day!" and then sign your name. It would be highly suggested, and have fun!
Edit: It was nice enough for them to invite you, so go ahead!

You're not obligated to bring a gift if you don't personally know the couple.
However, if it bothers you not to, go ahead and bring an inexpensive wedding gift (Picture frame, photo album, etc.). Signed, *your name*, Friend of *friends name*.

If you don't know the couple, be sure your date brings them a gift. You do not have to.
