Gift to your hubby?

I'm gifting my guy an album from the boudoir session I've scheduled. I think we're going to do something small for both sets of parents, and then gift them nice albums in December for Christmas as a bigger thank you.

I’ll probably gift him a watch or cologne. Not sure yet about our parents, but we’ll probably get both sets gifts from both of us.

I have no clue what to get either parent 😭

I think a heartfelt note from the two of you and a nice album of some wedding photos would be really nice for the parents.

He got me. Gift enough.
And his ring. ... It is customary to give parents an album or framed pictures, when they come in. No other gifts to parents are necessary. You can if you want, but like proposal gifts to bridesmaids, buying robes, spa days, jewelry, things to wear at bachelorette parties , these are all gifts that are trendy on media supported reality TV and websites, but have never been regular parts of weddings. The wedding industry profits, and promotes them for this reason, putting them on lists of ideas, schedule of things to do. The only tradition is to give each member of your wedding party a small individual gift, chosen for the hem personally and not for everyone alike. But there is no gift you "should do" for parents, for your wedding. It is a time when they traditionally give a gift to you for your wedding. Do what you feel like. We remember our parents birthdays, anniversaries, and Mother's and Father's Day, and 2 holidays, and for each occasion give gifts, every year. No extra one, for no reason, at wedding time. If they helped with the wedding, you should write a very nice, sentimental thank you note. ( Traditional etiquette, you don't thank someone for a gift, with a gift. A thank you note or letter, yes.). Nothing stopping you if you want, just not needed.

I'm getting my FH a photoalbum because he never really prints out photos but loves to look through the old ones from when he was little, so I thought he would really love that gift. I'm also leaving half of the pages in the back empty and wrote a little message saying that I can't wait to fill these pages with him.

I’m his gift! Gifts between us are gifts of time and love, something you can’t buy.

I’m getting FH a new watch with an engraving in the back, so that he can wear on the wedding day.
His father passed away but for his mom I’m painting her a bumble bee (she loves them and I am an oil painter). We’ve given her jewelry before that she never wore so wasn’t really sure what to do.
For my mom I got her an heirloom blanket w customized label from Swell Forever. It’s kind of pricey but I know she loves blankets, she just remodeled her living room and needs decor, AND the custom label is sentimental. For my dad I got him a necktie he can wear for the wedding, and in the back is a cloth patch sewn on. The patch is a picture of me (as a toddler) on his shoulders.

I didn't give my FH a gift. But bought my Wedding Gifts for my bridesmaid and Maid of honor. I bought my dad a coffee mug with our Wedding date. And my mom a photo frame on Amazon. They have really good ideas for the party

View Quoted Comment I just found those ties on Etsy that’s going to be my dad’s gift. For my mom, I was thinking we could do a spa day together.

I was going to get sneak his old Rolex out of the house and get it overhauled but that cost about $800 which I don't have....

Now I'm thinking an apple watch.

I wasn't aware of parent gifts, but they'll get framed photos and/or albums

If there's a wedding..... #COVID-19

I’m not sure what to do for my future husband yet. Both of our fathers are not in our lives. My little brother (13 years old going on 30) will be walking me down the aisle. Though for both of our mothers I planned on Etsy handkerchiefs with our messages to each stitched in.

I gifted my now husband his wedding day cologne, and we gave all parents, and bridal party, engraved flasks.

I have no idea what I'm doing for him. I have a good idea that he will probably give me a star chart poster (he already gave me one for the night we met, and one for the day we got engaged) of our wedding date. He's already hinted at me needing to find a space for another poster, lol.

I wanted to do a boudoir shoot, but I procrastinated and I don't know that I have enough time for that now, plus I'm not sure how the current WA state restrictions would affect the availability of any photographers right now.

So now, I need to figure something else out. :-/ I like the idea of a nice engraved watch. He like dressing up in nice suits and that would be a nice accessory.
