Re: Parent Gifts

Is this something you do even if you're paying for your own wedding?

His father and stepmother - parent album

His Mother - she is lucky she is getting a parent album!

My parents - tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld. I got my mom a tiffany jewelery box and lenox picture frame. And I got my dad cufflinks. My parents did alot for us so I wanted to make sure we got them something really nice.

Re: Parent Gifts

You don't HAVE to, I think it's a nice idea.

FH and I are paying for most of our wedding and my mom is giving us a decent amount of money towards it.

I'm looking at it more as, 'thanks for raising me... peace out!' lol j/k

Re: Parent Gifts

I have NO IDEA what to get them!!!!!

I like the idea of a digital picture frame though...I'm sure we could get some great deals on them after the holidays!

I'm def getting them parents albums and a copy of the wedding DVD but those could be more for Christmas, b/c that's prob when they will be ready.

Re: Parent Gifts

So far I just got my mom a precious moment with the bride and mom. Nothing for anyone else yet!

Re: Parent Gifts

Bought my mom the Lenox 'Mother's Loving Touch' statue

We bought my dad and FIL's 10' digital picture frames, and we'll also buy them each something else as well.

ETA: they're all getting parent albums as well, but I can't really make that a gift, as my parents are the ones paying for it.

Re: Parent Gifts

We are getting them both parent albums. We paid for the wedding ourselves, but still wanted to get them something.

Re: Parent Gifts

I am only getting gifts for my parents. I my mom and dad each a personalized frame for mother and father of the bride and I am getting them a gift card to Ruth Chris. I love FILs, but they have not contributed anything to the wedding and my parents have done so much. Unless FH gets them something, I dont plan on getting FIL anything.
