I've always heard that after the first house, baby, wedding, etc. (each) you shouldn't give a gift and I'm a total believer in that. However, experience says that generally people do bring a gift, so to be on the safe side, I'd get one, but don't worry about it being something small.

Regardless of the number of times that they have had a wedding you can bring a gift. Any gift is always optional. It is always a nice gesture to bring a gift. It doesn't have to be anything expensive. And couples are usually very appreciative when they receive something that is listed on their registry.

Only if you atttended and gifted on the first wedding.
I would bring something small or modest if that is the case. If your know that this is the second wedding for either of them, but did not attend or gifted on the first one, oblige and bring a good gift.
Good luck

Generally, you bring a gift to a wedding, no matter how many times either the bride or groom has been married. The gift is to wish them well in their future marriage, and I presume you want to do that even if it is not their first try.

bringing a gift to a wedding is NOT optional - how rude! the fact that someone was previously married is immaterial - you are celebrating the new union of the couple - one or both of whom you presumably know well-enough that they invited you to share in this event. People always need things & weddings are expensive. Don't be a jerk - find out where they are registered

If you brought a gift to the first wedding you don't bring one to the second wedding. If you were not invited to the first wedding bring a gift to the second one.

The only occasions where gifts are properly REQUIRED are showers and children's birthday parties. What is required is to send a note or letter of thanks AFTER attending a party. It is also required that one send a note or letter to acknowledge important milestones in the lives of ones friends and family. When a letter or note just isn't sufficient to express ones joy or gratitude, then one adds emphasis by sending a gift along with (or instead of) the letter/note.
In short, you MUST acknowledge the occasion with a letter or note of congratulations. If you are invited to and attend a party, a letter or note of thanks is in order. It is charming and generous, but not REQUIRED to substitute a gift for these notes and letters. If you have a champagne supper at these people's expense and don't send a gift, you will appear to be quite the stingey old cheapster.

I don't know the correct answer to this question, but I will try to help out.
I have been married twice, the second time the guy had not been married so most of his family brought gifts, or gift cards. My family and friends(most of them) brought something, most of it was gift cards to walmart or target so we could pick out whatever we would need. It wasn't much like $15-50 depending on who it was. I hope this helps alittle.

I've never heard of that tradition. What do you do when it's the groom's second wedding and the bride's first?!! (As was the case at my wedding!)
I think you should take a gift regardless of what you have heard.

I've never heard that. It's your choice to bring a gift but what does a 2nd wedding have to do with it?
