Random Question

I noticed on BHB someone asked about gifts for parents.

Someone answered their gift was the parent albums.

My parent albums came with my package so I didn't even consider it a gift, but I guess it is.


My question is, is anyone having their parents pay for their own albums? Or is everyone just paying for it in a package like I am?

I'm only wondering because my fiance and I are paying for the wedding ourselves and I just assumed I'm supposed to buy it - *and I'm going to*.. I just wanted to see if that is what everyone else is doing.

I plan of paying for the parents album. For me, I consider it 'a gift' to the parents, but not 'the gift' that I'm going to present to them. That's just my personal preference

Re: Random Question

well I am not planning on getting wedding albums as part of our package. I am planning on doing albums on shutterfly for both our parents that include our e-pics along with the wedding pics.

On top of that, we are going to get them a little something else, we just don't know what yet.

We are also paying for the entire wedding ourselves but We are buying the albums..I actually never thought of them as a 'gift'..but before this site I never thought to get them something else either

yeah I never thought of it as a gift either!

I don't think you're expected to get them a gift unless they're paying for things.
My parents bought my dress so I may get them something, but I'm not going crazy either.

Same with us! The photo package without the parent albums were so much more economical so we are going to make our own through shutterfly or another site as well. The albums you can make through those photo sites are beautiful!! And you can even get albums that are leather, which is probably what we will do.

We're going to do the same. I will include our parents albums in my photography package and pay for them, but also get them another gift.

Re: Random Question

I'm giving my parents a gift because they are paying for half the wedding, its up to you whether or not you want to do that I dont think its nessecary though, if they are not paying for anything, plus if it comes with your package thats even better, i wouldnt worry about getting them any other gift, depending on how expensive mine turns out to be it will be their gift...if it came with the package i think i would give them another gift as well.

I will be giving my parents an album but its not going to count as a gift since it would be like they are paying for their own gift.

Since we on this thought.... besides the album, what else do plan on gifting your parents?

I'm also giving my parents an album but it won't be their 'gift' either since they are paying for the photography package! i'm very happy to be so lucky!! i'd love to think of something meaningful to give to them though.

Our Parent Albums are part of the package with the photographer my fiance and I are paying for the wedding and will just give our parents the albums and not ask them to pay for them.
