Engagement Party Questions - Gifts for Parents?

So My engagement is in a week. My parents and my FIL's are throwing the party. I was think I need to buy them each a gift as a thank you. A) do you think this is necessary? and B) Any suggestions on what I should get them?

My thoughts so far:

1) The Picture and Invite Frame
2) Photo Albums for the Pictures (We are Having a Photographer)
3) A gift certificate to a restaurant

My dad paid for our e-party. He said that it was one of his gifts to us. We didn't get him anything, but are going to be going a little overboard on his birthday gift this year (next week).

I did however, buy corsages for my moh's, bm's, mother, and FMIL to wear during the party.

ETA: I love giving gift certs to restaurants. We buy these for FH's parents all of the time as thank yous.

My parents are paying a large majority of the eparty. I'd love to do something special for them but I know FH will feel bad because his parents can't even stand to be in the same room, nevermind pay for anything.
