Gifts- What to do, What to do?

What are you ladies getting your readers and parents?

I might be overthinking this but I don't want anyone to get upset. We purchased our bridal party gifts, earrings and a Michael Kors bag for the girls and watches for the guys. FH's sisters are my MOHs. One sister has two kids, in which her daughter will be my junior BM and the other sister has three kids, in which her son is the junior groomsman and her older daughter is a reader.

The issue will arise during our reversal dinner when gifts are handed out and the other siblings (who aren't in the BP)are just sitting there. Should I get them both a gift so they aren't left out. One is 13 and the other 14 so they are old enough to understand. FH always wants to include everyone. Any suggestions? I feel like I'm buying gifts for everyone at this point and my pockets can't take it anymore.

Re: Gifts- What to do, What to do?

Our parents are getting albums.

For our readers we invited them to the dinner with their significant other. I don't think a gift is necessary. Our readers were a cousin and a friend.

We had a large bridal party of 13 people and it was so chaotic. I don't think the other siblings in your bridal party will be upset.

My thinking about gifts for the readers is that they did not spend any money. Rehearsal dinner is more than generous.
The groomsmen rented their tuxes and took my husband out for his bachelor party.
My bridesmaids bought dresses, paid for make-up, threw me a bridal shower and treated me out for my bachelorette party.

This is very true!!! Didn't see it like them. Plus I'm giving all the MOH and BMs and my nieces a very nice picture frame for my bridal shower to say thank you for helping me paint my table numbers.

Our parents will be getting albums and we got plaques with their last names spelled out with wine inspired photos.

For our readers we got restaurant gift cards and movie tickets. We also invited them to the rehearsal dinner. We're not paying for the dinner and one of the readers wouldve been invited even if he wasn't a reader, he's a close friend of mine but also my MOHs husband.
