So our rehearsal dinner is this Friday and I just realized that our bridal party will be opening presents and our parents will just be sitting there. We got our parents, parent albums but obviously they can't get those until after the wedding so I don't know if we should try and figure something last minute out? They helped out with the wedding so I don't want it to seem unappreciative. Anyone have any quick present ideas?

I ordered my parents an 18x20 canvas prints of one of our e-pics. I got a Groupon for it for a website that does them, but I know CVS at least does canvas prints now too. FH got one of those collage frames and put a bunch of pics of him with his parents at different stages of his life. It came out really nice!

Can you get handkerchiefs embroidered? Engraved picture frame? cuff links for dad? jewelry for mom? ...If you cant think of anything I would just tell them that you are getting parent albums for them before hand. I don't think you will look unappreciative at all

We got my parents a bunch of gifts, but probably the easiest/cheapest one was a frame for 2 5x7, in one side i printed out a cute saying and on the other side a photo of me and that parent from when I was little, but I will say it is to be replaced with a wedding photo if they want.

Yea some kind of frame is quick and easy....if you have time to run somewhere like things remembered you can even get it personalized.

So glad you asked this since I'm doing the same thing (parent albums). Think I'm going the card route and explaining that we'll have an album for them after the wedding. Hope they wont feel like we weren't thoughtful but they know money is TIGHT now.
