Re: Parent gifts?
Yes, and I haven't decided what.
My mom has really done alot for us, as have his (but I feel like my parents do more), so I want to get them (or at least my mom) something really nice. Maybe a Lladro figurine.

Re: Parent gifts?
We're sending my parents on an all-inclusive long weekend. My mom has been out of work for a year but they're going above and beyond to help FH and I with the wedding and our new place and everything. FH's parents- whatever, it's FH's call lol they're barely doing anything except cause aggravation and stress so I want no part of that.

Re: Parent gifts?
my parents: tickets to a show and a gift cert to a nice restaurant
his parents: tickets to a dinner cruise
(strangely enough the cruise tickets cost more than the show tickets + gift cert)

Re: Parent gifts?
I'm thinking giving both sets of parents either a little getaway or an actual vacation.. because I know they need/want one but aren't going because of our wedding.

Re: Parent gifts?
OMG That is a great idea! FMIL LOVES lladros and what a great way to remember the wedding. I was trying to think of something to get them (ie: overnight in AC, etc), But i think lladro would have more meaning.
As for my parents (who are paying for 99% of the wedding) we are giving them a long weekend vacation. We did not decide where yet but thinking cruise out of NY or cape cod????
