Re: parent gifts

We decided to send our parents away to our fave b&b for a weekend.

Re: parent gifts

We are paying for our photography so we are giving our parents their albums.

Re: parent gifts

We are gave each set of parents their parent album, and at the RD I gave each parent a jet blue gift certificate to visit us (we moved shortly after the wedding) and I got my Mom a set of Lenox Butterfly Meadow dishes because she paid for 90% of the wedding.

Hope that helps

Re: parent gifts

Since we paid for the photographer (for the whole wedding for that matter) we got our parents their album, my parents and dh's mom got a video, I also gave my parents and dhs mom a handkerchief that came with a poem and all of the parents got a lenox picture frame.

Re: parent gifts

we are going to make small albums from them at shutterfly and also give them a framed pic of us with them as well

Re: parent gifts

Right now I have purchased hankies for my mom & FMIL...I am buying my brother Flyer vs Islander tickets, so my dad will be going with him (his present)

My FFIL Who knows...This is too difficult!!!!

Plus both sets are getting albums! I want something extra for my parents as they are paying for the RD!!!!

Re: parent gifts

both sets of parents are getting a parent album and a DVD copy of our wedding. my parents are also getting a one night broadway package - 1 night in a hotel, 2 ticktes to a Broadway play and a restaurant voucher to use that night too. i wanted to do something extra for them because they're paying for about 1/3 of this wedding.

Re: parent gifts

I was thinking about maybe getting tics to a Broadway show and dinner.... FH's parents really want to see Jersey Boys!!! I like the B&B idea....

Re: parent gifts

Re: parent gifts

I got my mom the lenox figurine as well. Sorry, don't remember how much it was, but I got it on e-bay and I know that e-bay had the best prices. I also got my mom a handkerchief that said "To dry your tears as you always dried mine".

I got my dad a music box/trinket box that plays "Butterfly Kisses" and has thee photos on the top...one of me at my christening, one at my communion and one at my wedding.

I got my MIL a hanky that says "Thank you for raising your son to be the man of my dreams"

We also got them gift certificate's to their favorite restaurants.
