Anyone getting gifts for their mom and dad for the wedding day? I want to get them both something meaningful but I'm at a loss. Any ideas?

A while back FH and I talked about getting my parents a new TV (since they're paying for almost the entire wedding) but we've been so busy lately that we haven't really talked about it. Hmm, 33 days to go... we better get on that!
I was also thinking about getting my mom one of those porcelain/crystal mother and daughter figurines... I think she would really love it.

I love the digital frame idea!!! So far we are doing hankies with a different poem for each parent, and I think a gift certificate for dinner. i wanted something nice and that could be it!

i'm thinking of getting each parent a personalized handkerchief, and also giving each set of parents a nice picure frame (or if they prefer i'll get our photo custom framed for them).

Just thought of another idea for parents who like Broadway... what about tix to see a show and go to dinner in the city? I've been trying to get my parents tix to see The Jersey Boys for like two years... I just might do that! Plus, their anniversary is 4 days before my wedding so it can be a combo gift.

I think I'm getting my parents a gift certificate to the Salem Inn so they can spend a weekend away. I thought it would be nice considering they are paying for the whole wedding. I might get FFIL a digital picture frame or something like that. FMIL . .. . not sure considering she's contributed next to nothing.

I'm seriously considering getting my mom a fresh flower wreath delivery once a month for all 4 seasons. She LOVES flowers, and I figure every season it'll be a nice reminder of the wedding (or a reminder as to how much money she spent)

I'm thinking of blowing up and framing a picture of the 5 of us (me, FH, both of them and my sister) as their gift.

I give my parents broadway tickets every Christmas (btw Jersey Boys is there absolute favorite!) This year i got them tickets to a show that is one week after the wedding (they like to go during warmer weather), so now i'm thinking of giving them a gift certificate to a nice resaurant and make reservations for them for the night of the show. Any recommendations for a restaurant? They've done the Carmines thing too many times

Re: Parent Gifts
I am trying to find an attached three picture frame...Since both FH and I only come from two sibling families....We can put parents wedding pic in middle then ours on one side and our sibling on the other.
