Gift giving for the wedding

Katie, on September 6, 2021 at 9:57 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5
As the bride and groom, my fiance and I had planned to give each of our parents a gift as a thank you for their help with our wedding. I also had a small gift for each of my parents, and picked out something from just me to his parents for welcoming me to the family. Is this expected/etiquette? I was going to have my fiance do the same for my parents but not sure if that is just too much and too confusing at this point honestly 😂 and has gotten expensive. But we aren't sure if that is the expectation, to give a gift from just the bride or groom to the future in laws. Any thoughts?

    I think you would be good with a gift from the two of you to each of them (or each couple, depending). It would get super expensive to do a bunch of individual gifts!

    It’s more of a Pinterest trend rather than actual etiquette. Most couples give parents a photo album after the wedding when pictures are printed.

    I think it's a lot of money and just very confusing. I think it's sufficient to just do a gift for each set of parents from the both of you.
