Did you parents/inlaws pay for their parent albums?

We paid for everything ourselves, and couldnt afford to add on parent albums. MIL is very upset that she doesnt have pics. Yet, she never said she liked any proofs, and didnt even take any of her own pics at the wedding. She just expected an album. I am frustrated because she has never said anything nice about our pics, and never offered to contribute toward an album.

We are paying for our parents albums and its part of the package - its the least thing we could do for them.

we didnt have a package, just an album credit.

Thats what we had too and we did not do parent albums. We are, instead, giving a framed 8x10 to each set of parents. Neither expressed an interest in a parent album. In fact Keith is the last one to get married in his family and his parents do not have a parent album for any of others. We are also going to offer them some proofs and they can put them in an album if they want to. Or my mom can add to the album she has started with the doubles of all the pictures she has been given. Why no one has offered me pictures of my own wedding, I can't explain. But my mom loves her album and was kind enough to show it to me when I was on LI a few weeks ago

The only album outside of ours was my mother and I paid for that personally, I gave it to her for mother's day. My inlaws got an 8*10 with a nice crystal frame

My in-laws didn't give us a DIME for our wedding. I was nice enough to give them a parents album that yes was included in the price of our album.

The video was a different story we did not buy copies for my in-laws. Well my MIL saw the video and wants a copy. I told her we didn't get a copy for you and that if you want a copy you will have to buy it yourself. She was mad, but my husband told her straight up, I asked you for money, you didn't give us anything so we had to cut corners. After all we did give you a parents album.
