I know it's customary to give your future in-laws and parents a gift at the wedding. I've already purchased sentimental gifts for my own parents but have no idea what to get for my Future in-laws? Any suggestions?

*Note: For MOB I personalized a handkerchief with the same lace as my dress and for the FOB I have cufflinks with a baby picture of him and I. (Just to give an idea of what I've done for my own parents.)

We're getting the parental units on both sides the same gifts. If you want it to be different, ask FH to pick it out.

Been struggling with this as well. FH didn't even realize about gifts. When I asked what we could do he said "I have no clue". This is a family that if they do exchange gifts, it's in the form of money or gift cards. So different than mine.

I would probably let my FH take the lead on that one.

Thanks for all of your suggestions! I've asked FH and he's clueless too. Hasn't even picked out GM gifts yet. I'd like for it to be somewhat sentimental to the event.

I'm buying my mom, step-mom, and FH's mom a pretty jewelry set. FH will handle a gift for my dad and his dad. We will also give them a parent album, a photo from the wedding with a beautiful frame, and a restaurant gift certificate for our set of parents.
