Do you typically give gifts to the people that are saying the readings during the ceremony?

I just thought about that and thought...Hm. I don't know.

    We did.  I don't know if it is something that is common, but we got them a giftcard to a place they would enjoy.

    Absolutely.  Anyone doing a little something in the ceremony gets a present.

    I think it's a nice gesture, but not absolutely required.  I was a reader at a friend's wedding recently and didn't get a gift.  I wasn't offended by it.

    Gifts are never "required" but your bride was remiss in her etiquette if she didn't give you a gift.

    General rule of thumb, everyone doing something at your wedding should either get paid or a gift.  

    Ours got booze.

    FI read in a wedding and they just gave him a thank you card, but I think you should give a gift, even if it's a small one like a $10 Starbucks GC.

    Yes, you should buy a gift for people doing a reading.  It can be something small if your budget is tight, but a gift of some sort is appropriate. 

    We bought our reader (my FSIL) a really pretty necklace from Macy's yesterday.  I keep looking at it and wanting to keep it for myself!  If we hadn't found the necklace, we were going to get her a gift card to her favorite department store.
