What gift will you give to your future father in law on his birthday? I also wish to say that he did not invite me too even if I stay some 3 minutes from his house. But since he send birthday cake the next day I am wondering if I have to give him a gift or not?
I do not mind about it now though I felt really bad at the beginning as I had given him all my respect and love, I even bought him a gift for father's day while I did not give my own father at home a gift!
So if you were in my place would you give a gift or not and what would the gift be?

I would give him a gift if I were you, I mean.. He is your father as well! It would also make your hubby quite happy I believe as it would give him the message that you do care for his family as well. :D Oh? Why didn't you give your biological dad a present during Father's day?? That's so sad! :(
In the choices of gifts, I'd give him a watch.. But not those cheap-o watches because that could give a message of disrespect. You can also give a shirt or send a home-made gift! Another one could be a family picture of you and your hubby and if you have kids, please include them! :D
Good day and have fun MyLotting!

But why would he invite her if he's a father in law! There's no need for an invitation! Would you invite your family for your birthday? No need because there's an unwritten rule that family is always invited! I mean, her hubby is the son! So naturally, her husband went thus bringing her!
Your father in law probably already expected you to be there because your husband is going of course.

He didn't need to invite you. I'm sure of it. Because his son went right? So obviously he'd expect you to be there as well. I'd still give him a gift.
Don't feel bad about not inviting because he probably expected that you'd be with his son so there would be no need of inviting you.
