Gifts

Krysta, on August 6, 2019 at 6:22 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6

Do people still give gifts to parents of the bride/groom? I am unsure of what to get for our Mother's Day. My MIL hinted the other day that she would like a mother's ring, would that be appropriate to get? My mom already has one, I feel like I want to get them the same/if not close to the same thing.

Also, does anyone still do day of gifts for FH? We are torn on what to get each other as we have been trying to keep wedding low cost.

Thank you,

    People still do both of these gifts. They're not a necessity, but definitely nice. I would actually recommend against getting your mothers the same thing. They aren't the same person and deserve to receive gifts that are unique to them as individuals. If your FMIL wants a mother's ring, that seems like a great idea. Maybe you could consider other jewelry like a necklace for your mom.

    As far as a gift for your FH, there are lots of inexpensive ideas. I'm getting my FW a watch with an engraving on the back and the pricing isn't bad at all.

    We didnt buy each mother or each father a gift. Instead we got them a generous gift card for a nice dinner out.
    I bought hubby a bottle of his favorite cologne for the wedding and he bought me tickets to see a show I wanted to see.

    We're planning on getting his parents a "parents album" (a smaller version of our wedding album). For my parents, I'm unsure because they aren't very sentimental.

    We are giving his mom prints from the wedding photos after we get them back, and will have them framed up really nice. Same with my mom. For my dad, my mom suggested doing one of the father/daughter frames and putting a photo of just me and him in it. I might try and find a double frame and find a picture from when I was little to put in it as well. For FHs dad, his mom suggested doing something small, like a personalized keychain/frame/wallet. He tends to move around a lot and has unfortunately lost many of his possessions over the years.

    Our gift to each other was the wedding. We did go and get new perfune/cologne that we picked together to wear the day of. It will hopefully remind us of our wedding whenever we wear it after!

    We're making the parents, and FHs grandma, Shutterfly books once the professional phots come back.

    For my FH I got him some smaller items. We just bought him a new car and I joke that that's his wedding gift lol.

    I did gifts for both sets of parents and my husband. I think it's a nice gesture.
