I think I am going to do personalized frames for our parents and then make them albums once the pictures are in.

They are getting albums but that is after the wedding I feel like they should get something before the wedding just don't know what. My dad doesn't smoke cigars so I am lost.

Since I have 2 sets of parents, and FH 1, I wanted to get something small for everyone that was inexpensive but still thoughtful and appropriate for parents, inlaws, and stepparents. We got them embroidered handkerchiefs that have cute sayings for each parent and the wedding date. Then also for each couple we are giving them a personalized picture frame.

We do intend to order them the parent albums, but figured we would give that to all of them for the Christmas after our wedding since it will be a while until they are ready anyway.

So far I've gotten my mom and his mom personalized hankercheifs from Etsyu: https://www.etsy.com/shop/InspiredStitches

I had my moms embroidered with a song she used to sing to me and used a poem for my fiance's mom.

Where did you get the handkerchiefs from?

So far for my FH mom I've been getting her things that I got for my bridesmaids (personalized tote, monogrammed getting ready shirt) but we will also be doing either an engraved frame or parent album

So far I have gotten my mom a silk robe to match the rest of the bridesmaids for the morning of pictures. I am also buying my parents tickets for a Broadway show because they love going to them and theyve spent so much on this wedding I felt it was only appropriate to give them a big gift.
