About How Many Grams Of Gold Jewelry Is Typically Given By The Bride's Parents?

Hello,
As a mother of two daughters in their early and late teens, I would like to know how many grams of gold jewelry (or items) do the bride's parents give? I know there would be a huge variance, but just trying to get a good idea on the trend these days.
I don't remember exactly how many grams of gold jewelry my parents gave me, but I got 2 necklaces, a few pairs of earrings, a pair of regular bangles, a pair of slightly fancy bangles, a mangalyam chain with its accessories, and a pair of diamond earring. This was in the late 1990s.
Whenever I have visited the big jewelry stores (in Bangalore) the past few years, they are always packed with people buying. So I am wondering if indeed a lot of jewelry is given these days so I can start planning from now.
Thanks in advance for your time and input.

Thank you all for the feedback. It has been very helpful.

Completely agree that in these days education is a top priority. Any kind of gold investment is only after making sure education expense is met. Plus the generation now a days like very light weight and fancy jewelry.

However, my situation is slightly different. We are settled outside India. My husband follows the policy - "No demand, no buy", i.e. unless I demand/pester for any piece of jewelry, he will not buy anything. In almost 20 years of marriage, on the two occasions I asked for jewelry, he agreed and bought.
He has a couple of rental properties in India, but I never know how much income was earned from it and how much is in the bank account there.
It so happened that I got a chance to visit India every year for the past 3 years. The first time I went, I bought some small pieces of jewelry for my kids. He never opposed it and readily paid for the jewelry from the money in India. I took advantage of that and the other two times, I bought small stuff like a lightweight necklace set of less than 15gms, etc. So in some sense I have started building up the items one by one whenever I can.
I just wanted to know in general what is the trend now a days. That way I can buy a little bit whenever I can.

Thanks for your input. It is a good idea. I also read on a different forum on this site that bars are preferable over coins if you want to convert to jewelry later.
