i have no idea what i am doing for my parents or his parents yet.. but i have a few ideas in mind - i was thinking maybe a fancy picture frame so they can than put the picture of our wedding day (witch we are giving them the picture as well) with maybe than a gift certificate to a favorite resturant?? i also came across some cute personalized things that are really cute for them at things to remember.com.. so lets see what i decide on, i think this is another hard part along with deciding what to give the BM.. once i have all the gifts for everyone i think i will be more relaxed, ahh!!

Does everyone get their parents a gift. We are all paying for this wedding, all parents FH and myself included.

I have never heard of this before. What could my parents possible want and need.

Just curiuos if anyone was not planning .on getting their parents anything.

my parents are contributing a lot, his are giving us a nice size wedding gift, for parent gifts we want to get something for them b/c they've been very supportive throughout the planning process....both parents so far are getting a picture of their choice from the wedding, the parent photo album, other stuff not sure, we were thinking a gift certificate to expedia for travel maybe

Re: Parent Thank you Gifts

Im glad this question was asked because Fh and I are paying for the wedding ourselves. No help from either side. So...of course I was planning on giving them a picture of us but do I get them anything else?

i think just parent albums or something along those lines are good.

Mom: Beleek picture frame
Dad: double Dadd'ys little girl frame, I have a pic of me and him dancing from when I was a flower girl for the one side
Both: gift certificate for them to a nice restaurant near their beach house where they spend the summer
And we will make them an album on shutterfly

FH's parents???

Re: Parent Thank you Gifts

i have to give them something big because not only is me and FH paying for our wedding but my parents and his parents are also helping in a lot and giving us a big chunk of money to help towards the wedding so its only right we thank them with a nice big present! :)

Think about dinner at their favorite restaurant, or a night away at a nice hotel with dinner and transport included, it's hard because they have pets and my 90 year old grandfather so it can't be anything that requires an extended stay somewhere...so, probably an overnight and we would stay at my parents or dinner in the city at their favorite place

Re: Parent Thank you Gifts

See this is going to be hard for us we have 3 sets of parents to buy for. I know my Mom and step-dad are getting something crystal from Tiffany's but I am at a loss for my FH's parents and I am at a loss as to what to get my Father. For my Father I am leaning towards a gift card, I know it is impersonal but he and I are not close in the least. HTH!
