- There is no binding requirement (in law) to do anything for a daughters wedding
- Some daughters are estranged from their parents and want nothing to do with them so the parents hould do nothing
- Parents should not do anything that imposes unusual financial hardship on themselves
- Parents should not do anything to upgrade or expand the daughter's wedding that she does not want (extra guests, different locale)

- Tradition holds a division of Bride's/Groom's parent's responsibilities which are driven by local custom
