MOTB/FOTB gifts??

hey girls...so I know I've been totally *** forever now. Sooo much has been going on! Not only has FH moved in with me...but he started a new job..& we're looking to buy a house as well. (All this in ADDITION to planning a wedding) Can we say craziness?? But...it's all good craziness! LOL

Anywho's...to quickly update you all -our 'Biggees' have all been booked. The only thing left is limos...& we have plenty of time on that.

Now..onto the fun stuff! I've been looking into BP gifts and we have the girls & guys all set already! I;'m having a little trouble figuring out what to get MOTB, FOTB, and FMIL, FFIL gifts.

Any ideas? suggestions? The more sentimental -the better!!

Hoopw you're all doing well! Miss you ladies!

Xo...J

Do any of them have hobbies or things they love to do---fishing, cooking, wine, reading, etc.- that you could incoporate in?

Not really. My father is into motorcycles...but that wont help! LOL I'm trying to think of something sentimental...like engraved cufflinks, or money clips...for our dads -but cant remember the sentimental phrases to use.

Something about 'on the day you gave her away..'

? I'm lost!

congrats on all the good craziness and booking all the major vendors!

I am going to pay for my brother's and dad's tuxes and my mom's hair. also will take them out maybe for a special dinner when they will fly in - just me, FH and them
haven't thought about FMIL.... hmmm...

My parents are divorced, so unfortunately I can't get them anything together. I was talking to FH about this the other night.

I was thinking of taking my mom and FMIL out for a spa day, and having FH take my dad and FFIL out for a golf day. I might also bring my MOH's (sisters) and FSIL, and told FH to bring his BM (his brother).

Thanks! Hmm...paying for the tux's does seem like a good idea. Was trying to figure out something more sentimental though. I'm super close to my dad...and need something that may bring tears to his eyes!

This sounds great but unfortunately none of our dads are into golf or anything like that. They're into motorcycles! LOL

I am actually doing this for fathers day but it is a tear jerker present... I picked a song for the father daughter dance. FH made a DVD slideshow of pictures of us played to the song. I am hoping it makes him cry lol!

Thats also a great idea! I dont have anyone who can put together a EDVD slideshow though.

I'm thinking more along the lines of something he can wear or use forever that will remind him of the day I got married.

Sooo much tougher then I thought!

u know, I made my dad a bday present last year, a album of all the pix from the last 4 yrs. many have never been printed, so I thought this can be a great way to have something that will summarize the last 4 yrs since I moved to US. he went nutts over it!!! he was so touched and he usually such a reserved person. he showed it to everyone - ppl at work, neighbors, my grandparents
made me so happy that he loved it so much

a watch is always a very good present in this case. and u can inscribe it with something special

Definitely a possibility! I'm big into scrapbooking...so maybe I can get a photobook made or something like that. Something to consider!
