Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
My FI's mom is not contributing to our wedding. Do I still have to purchase her a gift?

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
well, she contributed her son. . .
a small gift maybe, like a picture frame, and get te same for yours & if they are helping, add a gift certificate or something.

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
I was kinda confused on the issue, I tend to look at things funny. My way of thinking is why am I giving gift when Im the one getting married? But I have you wonderful ladies to guide me in the right direction. I'll get her a picture frame for Things Remebered or something.

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
we're getting them frames from thingsremembered. Just bought them today.
FIL's are contributing a little though. Also getting all parents albums.
Also we are giving all the grandparents 5x7 frames, even though only one set is helping us. Just thought it would be nice to do.

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
Yes you should get her a gift. After all, she gave you FH!!! Seriously, though. It could be from both of you just to thank her for being a wonderful mother and blah, blah, blah. That is assuming she isn't a druggie/drunk child abuser or something. I ahve such a way of putting things. It's a gift I tell you! LOL!

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
I would still get a gift, just because it's his mom. So a nice picture frame with a wedding picture would be very thoughtful.

So what if she is any of those things?  Seriously, I hadn't thought about getting the non-contributing parents gifts either...

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
Just an idea but my sister ordered a couple of things for my parents from FTD to arrive the day after her wedding with a little note saying thanks from both of them. One was a gift basket with different types of stuff from Harry and David and the other was two potted african violets. It was nice since she must have thought about it before the wedding and it arrived the day or the day after they left for their honeymoon.
Besides that she also got both parents sets of pictures and frames and all that jazz.

Re: Tacky question....but I still have to ask it
I would get her something. We are paying for our whole wedding but will be getting something for our parents anyway. It's a nice gesture in my opinion.
