No, you don't have to - it's not one of the traditional presents you give. It's completely up to you if you would like to give him something to mark the day.

Well I have a nice pair of newbridge silver cufflinks for him (same as all of the wedding party have been bought) but I was thinking of getting him a watch to match but H2B said I didn't have to get him anything, I just thought it would be nice (plus he could do with a new watch!!!)

I got a "Thank you" card for my parents and wrote a heart-felt message on the inside.My Dad's the kind of person who thinks its silly to spend money on things just for one day.Anyway,they loved the card.And it got straight to the point!

Yeah good2go, my folks would be the same. Would appreciate heartfelt chat or card more than anything else. Card is great idea..might steal that one on you!
