E-party thank you gifts for moms???

So I have never been to an engagement party before, but I have been to 1000000 weddings! My e-party is in two weeks and my mother and MIL are hosting it for us. Should I/Do I give them a token of thanks? Perhaps a bouquet of flowers? Small gift? I have never been to one so I truly do not know the proper ettiquete. Please let me know what you think and any ideas for a small gift.

Maybe a nice picture of us framed?

Flowers are a nice idea, maybe you can get them delivered or bring it to them the day after your e-party!

we just gave them a card the day of....they told us before hand that if we tried to do anything for them (flowers, gift etc) they would be upset with us because they know we are busting our a#$ for this wedding....so we figured a card showed our appreciation

We didn't get our mom's anything for the e-party but for our wedding we made them scrapbooks. We are giving it to them at the rehearsal dinner.
We started w/ pictures of when we were younger, while we were dating, when got engaged, my bridal shower, bachelorette/bachelor parties, dress fittings, getting ready for the wedding, the church, and so on. They can fill it it in w/ the wedding pictures after the wedding. They came out great! -Kelly

I put a picture of us from the party in a nice frame and gave it to them the week after the party.

We got our moms photo albums to put the pics of the e-party in, they both used them for that.
Maybe pick up a set of albums, give them one now and one for the shower, RD, wedding.
