Do I gift her a gift, and buy the 'couple' a gift too? Just the couple?
Our (bride's) family is paying for most of the wedding and reception, and bought her dress, but what else should we do?

I honestly think a wedding is a pretty amazing present to give her.
On the other hand, if you'd like to give her something more, that's pretty much never inappropriate.
In that case, I would tend to think something for the couple would be better than something just for her. Is there a family item that you could pass on to them? Perhaps a piece of china or silver or a decorative item that has been in the family for a couple generations would be meaningful to her and show absolutely that he's now a part of the family.

Good lord, she must be a child, since you paid for the wedding! These days independent, mature couples pay for their own!
You would buy something for the couple, not just your daughter.
Anyway, what my mom did was go in with my five other siblings and they got us a full set of china. For the shower she had given us the teapot and cream and sugar, so I thought that was cool enough, so when they presented us with the whole set, it was overwhelming. It's special because it is ethnic-decorated.
Plus, after we were married about a month, she was 'horrified' we didn't have a microwave, so bought us that too.

My mom did not buy me an individual wedding gift. The money she contributed to the wedding and the fun that we had planning it together was awesome and a gift enough!
She did get me very cool shower gifts that were not on my registry that she knew I would like.
For our wedding gift, my parents bought my husband and I a TV.

I'm buying my daughter a wedding!
That's what my parents got me, too. It's a fabulous gift, really!
Really, without being a smarty-pants...This is truly, truly, a HUGE gift already. There is absolutely no need for you to stress yourself out trying to find something that they can unwrap.
If you really want to find something that can be put in a box, it most definitely should be for both of them, just like all the other guests' gifts will be for the couple.

You don't have to give a gift to your daughter, but if you truly want to, do you have an heirloom that you would like to pass down from your mother or grandmother? That would make a truly wonderful gift to your daughter. Or even give her something of yours to start an heirloom. Your options are endless, but your are not obligated to gift. The wedding in and of itself is gift enough.

Paying for the wedding is your gift to her and her husband. They will, afterall, be receiving money and gifts as a result of your generousity. You don't need to do anything more, although the fact that you are asking leads me to believe that you feel you ought to do more. So, go ahead and put a little something extra in the envelope, but you don't have to.

In all of Arab world exept Egypt usually the groom's parents or the groom pay for the wedding, the house and furniture,so on my daughter;s wedding I gave her my wedding ring that decended from her father's familly and nearly all the gold that I got from my father as she was his only grand child and he was decest by then.As for yourself and you RE PAYING FOR MOST OF THE WEDDING
you could bring the couple a house warming gift.Congratulation to your daughter.

is the bridal party taking care of her "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue"? if not take care of that and thats really all.. you're contribution to the celebration is already gift enough.
*my in laws paid for 1/3 of the wedding and were over generous with my bridal shower gifts but gave us a very beautiful clock to place on a mantle.. cherrywood with gold accents and a pearl face. but she said in the card that we always need to 'take time' for each other.. im crying im such a blubberer.. sorry..
