I am so lucky to have my parents paying for the lion's share of our wedding day. I want to get them a nice gift to thank them for all that they have done. I know that there is no magic number, but I have no clue what to spend on this gift. Anyone else in a similar boat care to share their thoughts? Thanks!
when i was engaged, I was in this situation. I was going to send them on their own second honeymoon to somewhere nice. I hadn't started researching, but I had a budget of about $2,000 - $3,000.
im in that situation... it'll be my parents 30th anny the month after our wedding so i'd like to send them on a trip somewhere....
I am the MOG. My husband and I are splitting the cost of the wedding with the brides family. We are doing this so our children have more money to start their new with. I will miss having my son at home, so if they wanted to thank us, I would love a meal at their new home. Or you could even treat your parents out to dinner. If you feel you need to do more---- do it once a week for a year!
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate your responses

I think my dad would be PISSED if I spent major money on something for him and my step-mom, considering they can always do whatever they want (which is why I'm lucky enough to have him helping with the expenses).
I think I need a special more personal idea for something for my dad. I've gotta work on this... thanks for reminding me!
My mom and dad would be upset if we spent a lot. They are throwing us a wedding to help us out with life. I am trying to think more about something that is personal for them and our relationships.
We actually just brouight my dad a tv stadn for his new falt screen I know he really wanted one but dont have so much extra money around bc he is paying for most of the wedding. My mom I plan on getting the lenox figurine on mother and daugther and then probably pay for her makeup and hair for the day of.
We are giving my dad a new camera, which he really needs and hopefully will love! We're not 100% sure what we're getting for my mom yet.

Send them on a cruise.
We got my parents and FHs parents (who are both paying for the wedding) new computers...they both needed them badly!
