Gifts for Parents???

Jessie, on May 13, 2019 at 5:58 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 9

What is everyone getting their parents as wedding gifts?? I'm kind of stumped on this one. My parents are split up and both are contributing the same amount, together they'll be paying for 2/3 of the wedding while FH parents are contributing the final 1/3. I want to get them all something special but am having a hard time on coming up with ideas! Please help!

    We did nice photo albums after the wedding for all sets of parents.

    We are doing the same, as well as their choice of 8x10 print! I feel this is a much better, long-lasting gift than the handkerchiefs and other popular customized items.

    Definitely! My parents would’ve tossed jewelry or a handkerchief in a junk drawer and it would never see the light of day again haha.

    Following for ideas!!

    My future MIL was easy. She is always asking for pictures of us so we are getting her an album with engagement photos and wedding photos. My mom, probably something similar.

    The dads are more difficult. I might try to find something Beatles related for my dad as that's a connection between us. As for FHs dad, I have no clue!

    I had a difficult time with this especially for my father because he is hard to please. I got the heart collage for my mom. I included photos of my siblings, parents, and I. She loves these kinds of things. I got my dad a pair of socks that say father of the bride with my wedding date on one sock and of all of our walks, this one is my favorite for my dad. I also got him a travel mug that says Father of the Bride and our wedding date. My mom said he uses a travel mug every day and could use a new one.

    Hi Jessie! Did you decide what to buy you and your FH's parents yet? What did you get them?
