If you wish to share what you got them, that would be great too.

We're paying for our photographer, so they're getting their albums and we're taking care of their hotel room the night of the wedding. Nothing too crazy.

We'll write them nice cards too.

Re: How much are you spending on your parent's gifts?

My parents paid for most of the wedding so I wanted to get them something nice. We got them tickets to a Broadway show and 1 night in a hotel in NYC. I also got my mom the lenox figurine (bride and mother) and my dad an engraved picture frame that says 'daddy's little girl'. One side of the frame had a picture of us when I was a flower girl and the other side has a picture of us at my wedding.

I bought it off of ebay for approximately $45 (including shipping and handling). The retail price is $145 so I got a great deal on ebay. My mom loved it.

Beside the parent albums we are sending both sets of parents to our fave B&B in New Hampshire for a long weekend.

$350 on each of the moms

We paid for our wedding, but they both 'helped' a little bit more than they could afford, so we wanted to do something really nice.

Diamond pendants.
