Gifts for Mother and Father of Bride

Hello,

OMG - I'm 70 days from getting married... So much to do!!

I bought my mother beautiful pearls as a thank you gift for all they have done. They are really very lovely and go well with the theme since we are doing a vintage lace and pearl theme (yeah, I say we... like FH really cared about our 'theme'

)

But what to get dad?!! I was looking at the embroidered handkerchiefs on etsy, but some of them seem so cheap looking. Has anyone ordered them and loved or have any other great ideas? Thanks!!

What about cufflinks for your Father? I bought engraved ones off of Etsy and they look fantastic!

I got the handkerchief and I am going to look at the cufflinks. I did notice they had 'I loved her first' cufflinks which are perfect since my dad picked that as our first song - but do they sound cheesy and/or tacky?? Thanks guys!! As usual you all save the day ;)

I don't think it's cheesy or tacky..I actually think with the song conecction that it is very touching and special
