Hello,

Question is anyone getting their future mother in law a gift?? Like before the wedding I know you give the bridesmaids tokens etc but from what I am reading you buy your mom something and the groom's mother something.....

    We’re planning to get them both a piece of jewelry and write them a nice card. I’m not a fan of the “thank you for raising...” or “‘mother of the...” gifts because they don’t seem very heartfelt to me.

    I'm planning to get all parents gifts. I'm actually planning on getting something with one of those "thank you for raising" phrases Caytlyn mentioned. It's probably a know your crowd kind of thing, I know that she will go absolutely nuts for that, but others might not. I'll probably write a heartfelt letter with each gift I give.

    Were getting his mom a new outfit specifically for the event and whenever any nice clothes occasion arises afterward (thatll happen in like may or maybe April. Idk yet) and idk what for my parents. And I am clueless about his dad. Idk him well. I think pictured for my parents and likely the same for his dad and his grand parents.

    I didn’t intend to insult the gifts. They’re cute and will work for some, I would just rather write my own message than buy something premade by someone else.

    My mom and his mom are 1 totally different but the same type of women lol there is a 16yr age difference between our mom's ( my mom is older) putting that to the side they both like nice things I think to pick out something nice for both mom's with both our names on it would be cool

    Well I had planned on us buying our mother's dresses for the wedding and our grandmother's dresses as well (my idea not his lol) I also wanted to pay for my dad rental suit as well ..... my dad's are easy (I was raised by 3 dads) stepdad/bio dad/big sis n bro dad so they are easy guys and so is my mom .... I can gauge his mom because I know her but his dad.... not a clue!! Lol all I know is that he is into cars and that's about it.... guess I will start asking more questions

    We're getting all the parents a gift. I liked the necklaces that said "thank you for raising your son to be the man of my dreams and welcoming me into your family." I thought it was sweet. We'll probably get my mom something similar. I'm also getting another mom a necklace with a personalized note. Plus we're getting each of them their favorite scented lotions and candles. We're getting his dad a personalized poem to hang on the wall and am engraved valet box

    Maybe ask his dad what he would prefer? I have 2 dads too, but I'm not going out of the way for my step dad. Personal reasons. But I think were going to ask his dad what hed order as a gift
