Re: Ladies I need help with Parent gifts PLEASE
For our parents we got them each a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant..figured they could use a night out after all the wedding stuff. And we gave each a pic of us with them as children in a special frame.
You could do tickets to a broadway show or something.
My whole thinking for our parents gifts was after all the wedding craziness they could all use a night out away from everyone they know.
Good Luck!!

Flowergirl - cute braclet. Fortunoffs has some nice kids silver jewelry. We got our FG (5 yrs) a knock off tiffany heart braclet. I know she is going to love it. It wasnt expensive either.
RIng boy - Ours is 4 and we are either doing a savings bond or gift certificate to Toys R Us. Either way, we are putting it in a personalized piggy bank
We didnt finalize our parents either but here are some of our thoughts: (Plus we got them the hotel room the night of the wedding so they dont have to worry about driving, and the parents albums as well) g/c to favorite restaurant, night in atlantic city, broadway tickets to a play, night in Mohegan Sun

Re: Ladies I need help with Parent gifts PLEASE
for our parents, we got them each a gift certificate to mohegan sun and we're getting them each an engraved frame for an 8x10 of our e-pic. for my parents, i also (because they are paying for the wedding, and because my mom has helped me with EVERYTHING) got my dad an embroidered handkerchief and my mom a lenox statue of a bride with her mother.
for our flower girl we are getting a build a bear (i heard you can dress them up kinda like a flower girl).
for my brother who is an usher, i am getting him an engraved beer glass, an engraved silver bottle opener and a bottle of liqour.

For our parents we didn't give them anything besides our photo folio. The BM we got him a coach wallet. We wanted to get him a nice watch but he already had. We didn't have a flower girl but for our ring bearer who was 4 we had gotten him a Build A Bear. With a suit just like his he was excited to make it and its a keepsake.

We weren't going to get our parents anything, I think I like the gift certificate idea...
no idea for the parents yet.... our flower girl I was going to get either a little necklace or earrings and a personalized story book (where it's a story with their name put into the book...SO adorable) and the ringbearer i was thinking of getting an engraved piggy bank????

Forget it - I found it. It is called a mother's loving touch. TY though for suggestion.

Re: Ladies I need help with Parent gifts PLEASE
I am getting my FG a charm bracelet. She can add links as she gets older to make it grow with her. I am starting her off with a flower charm and a wedding bell charm (for obvious reasons) - and I am getting her a butterfly charm too... because butterflies are a kind of hidden theme in my wedding. Her mom loves the idea and figures she can add to it for each major occassion as they come.
For the BM we are getting him a new wallet with Islander tickets and a gift card for a bait and tackle store (he is a HUGE fisherman).
As to the PARENTS... mine have passed away. For Rob's parents we will likely get a personalized picture frame and gift certificates to their favorite restaurant... they go out to eat EVERY weekend.
ETA: RB is my nephew's son and we will be getting him a little gift basket stuffed with various and sundry toys.

A good gift for your bro and/or best man might be designer sunglasses (if he's into it).. Depends on how much you want to spend... If he has a few watches - a watch box might be nice too... All the FG, RB, and rents suggestions were great...
