Re: Parents and groomsman gifts
I suggested to FH about doing money clips, zippo lighters(they all smoke) and a gift vard in the money clip. They would be personalized of course. Parent gifts, not getting for his but, for my mom, she got me my dress, I havent figured that out yet. I did get her alittle something and gave it to her already,lol...Vera Bradley stuff.

Re: Parents and groomsman gifts
I think this is a great question because I have no idea what to get the parents.
FH, would never let me pick grooms gifts, he is so darn picky and opinionated, which is fine but what will drive me crazy is the fact that he is going to wait until the week before to get something, I am sure of it.

Re: Parents and groomsman gifts
We got my parents tickets to a broadway show & his parents tickets to the opera. Also gave both an AMEX gift card to pay for dinner after their shows.
For the groomsmen we got them a nice Fossil watch.

Re: Parents and groomsman gifts
FH's parents we got them a wine tasting excursion on a cruise they are going on this summer in Italy. My parents, we got them a weekend in fabulous NJ (with us!) date TBD....we're going to get them a hotel and plan all kinds of activities for us and them together....they always want to spend more time with us, so that's why.
I also got personalized handkerchiefs for all 4 parents:
MOB said: Thank you for the wedding of my dreams FOB: To remember the day you gave me away FOG & MOG: Thank you for raising your son to be the man of my dreams.
Of course all of them said Mom, .... , Love, Nicole, 6-7-08 (etc.)
For the GM DH got personalized cufflinks (which he also got for the dads), and personalized beer mugs.

Re: Parents and groomsman gifts
It depends on how much you want to spend, but I found these to be cute. If your mom is into somethings like this.
I don't know what we are going to give the guys yet. I don't want it to be a predictable wedding gift. Both FH and I LOVE tattoos, so I was thinking about maybe an Ed Hardy Flask? Or something of the like. =D

Re: Parents and groomsman gifts
We found these cigar humidors for $50 online (that was our budget) they are really cool. But not sure if we are going to go ahead with them or doing a fancy 9-in-1 tool. For my mother I am getting her a figurine by lenox that is mother daughter dancing. For step father I am going to do something with the him and I, like a picture frame or something like that.
