I wasn't planning on getting them gifts, just a card and maybe one of those mom/dad hankies.....and roses for the moms at the wedding.

This is what we brought for our parents

I also wrote each set of parents a poem and created this

We also gave them a parent album, video and a pic to go in the frame.

Since we paid for the entire wedding ourselves, I did not get parent gifts.
