Parent Gifts?

Hey Ladies!
Maybe you can give me some insight on this-

My mom and FH's (seperated) parents said that they do not want parent albums from the wedding. They would like to have a copy of our DVD and pictures from later after we get our proofs..

Would a Larger Wooden empty frame for those pictures be nice guesture at the rehersal dinner as a parent gift?

Why don't they want parent albums?
But to answer your question, yes the frames would be nice.

Hi, Kim!! Frames are very nice!! I told Debi we would pay for our own parent album, to reduce the financial burden on them; Maybe that's how your Mom, and in-laws feel? Mary MOB

No it is not that we can't afford them, they just wanted to do their own thing..
I think we may do a smaller 'brag' book for them.
Thank you for your replies!

I know that my in-laws don't want an album too (I think they recognize that it would just sit on the coffee table and they wouldn't look at it). Instead, they got a photo collage (about 4 photos mounted in a frame) from the photographer. That sounds fairly similar to what you plan on doing.
