Re: what is everyone giving their . . .

We got the them all the parent hankies but I'm also going to put together albums for my Mom and his Mom. I'm using the small albums that hold the 4x6 pics, starting with a poem on the first page (still tweaking that) and then pics of me (for my Mom) and him for his Mom, of course) growing up, starting with baby pics and the last 3-4 page left empty for a few wedding pics (the poem will say something regarding the the empty pages and our wedding day). For the Dad's maybe engraved beer mugs, not too sure though.

Re: what is everyone giving their . . .

so far, we got each set of parents this pretty frame to match our theme and colors but it will also go w/ both of there houses. and i love the saying on it- 'Time washes away... the memories stay.' And we'll send them either a pic of us or pic of us w/ each of them for the frames after we get our wedding pics.

not sure what else we'll be doing yet.

Nothing. I don't want that to sound rude but FH and I are footing the bill for this gala event and I don't think that gifts are required.

I got my parents 2 nights at this bed and breakfast in Spring Lake, NJ. Right by the ocean. I don't think we are getting his parents anything, because they haven't really done anything.

We got my parents a trip to vermont with the hotel, gas money, and gift cards and put some info about the area and restaurants.

We got FHs parents a trip to Fla (they have a house down there)...we gave them the flight , a night in a hotel, and a gift card to a nice restaurant.
