Re: What are you getting your parents for parent gifts?

we are getting our parents their own toasting glasses for our reception. This idea I got from another bride on here, and I think its a great idea.

We are also giving them a copy of our wedding on DVD/VHS and a wedding album from our photographer. But those will come later.

My folks to Montreal-where they love to go

Re: What are you getting your parents for parent gifts?

The idea is we are getting to go on a honeymoon to celebrate new love and family and here are four people who have excelled at that so it makes sense to give them each a really earned HM.

Re: What are you getting your parents for parent gifts?

Wow---that's so awesome, Deb......if this show comes through and we win big, believe me, that's the first thing we're doing is sending all the parents away for at least a week!!! Wish the finances were there for us to do it now, but unfortunately, they're not.

I think we're going to send our parents away on either an overnight or two night stay in one of the bigger cities that aren't NY'ish. Maybe Baltimore, DC, Charleston (SC), or Savannah. I think they would truly appreciate that, more than any material items. Plus, my mother knows the 'parent' album is already included---so that idea is thrown out the window!! :)

Re: What are you getting your parents for parent gifts?

We have my mom, his mom and then his dad and stepmom.

Not sure about the dad and stepmom yet but since we're both dancing with our moms, we're getting them each a nice double 8X10 frame. On one side of the frame will be the lyrics to the song we dance with them to and when our pictures are ready, the other side will be an 8X10 of us dancing with them to that song.
