We have gifts for my maid of honor, my bridesmaids, the best man, the groomsmen, the ring bearer, and the flower girl.  Is there anyone else that we need to buy a gift for?  We also got a gift for my parents, since they helped to pay for the wedding.  Is there anyone else that we need to get a gift for?  Anyone we are forgetting about?  Thanks.

    Such gifts are rarely obligatory, so there are no hard-and-fast rules (beyond the usual generic gift-giving rules, of course). Distribute such gifts as are you are moved to, and fret not about missing someone.

    Is anyone helping you with wedding related stuff? Like is there anyone doing a reading? Do you have ushers? If you do, I would get them a thank you gift. 

    If you're getting a gift for your parents, but not for his, you should probably gift in private (i.e. not at rehearsal dinner). I think it would be a nice gesture to get your ILs a gift. Even if it's something as simple as a picture frame and you can promise to fill it with a family wedding photo after the wedding.

    The parents are each getting a canvas photo from their best picture with us at the wedding.  So we obviously won't be able to give it to them at the wedding, they will get it later when the photographer does them.

    I think you're covered.

    We did give a small gift to our officiant (a gift card to a restaurant) as he is a distant friend of the family and his fee was an excellent value- we gave that opposed to a tip (but you could also just tip).
