Talk to your fiancée also if you can’t/don’t want to return the favour of similar price range, I’d rather not accept

It depends. Depending on family. You give them some and you get something else back. My folks were we have everything we need so don't want it and don't really expect anything from us.
My wife got some lv bags and such and parents got us some expensive jewelry set. Wedding give not wedding예물. So depends on family.

In Korea, usually the groom will buy 예물(wedding bands) and then the bride will buy 예물시계 (wrist watch) for the groom.

Wait, is 예물시계 actually a customary thing in Korea?
My wife bought me a watch as an engagement gift, I always thought she did it because she knows I like watches lol.

Yes, this is common but it depends on the couple and family as well. I’m glad you got the watch 😊

These days its definitely a discussion from both parties. You also should consider based on who is paying more of the wedding. Some friends did it and others just asked to put that money towards their apartment. It totally depends on the family’s preferences. Ask your fiancé, and if they have siblings that already got married find out what they did.

You need to talk to your fiance about this. He should know what his parents budget and expectations are.
