    They don't have to be unique. What are their interests/taste?

    Most parents are thrilled with a frame and an IOU for a wedding picture or album.

    Got my mom a sapphire necklace(sapphire is the stone for September, when we're getting married) and got my dad a watch engraved with "father of the bride". Got a watch for my FFIL too, and a sapphire bracelet for my FMIL.

    Mom will get a bracelet, Dad will get a tie clip. We'll print and frame the family photos as a Christmas present, since our wedding is late in the year.

    My photographer gave us a discount for our Sunday wedding, and the amount matched up perfectly with a new gift option he was working on. It's a hard bound coffee table style book, and the recipient gets to pick their favorite photos from the wedding to be printed and bound in the book (up to 100 or 150 pictures. I can't remember at the moment).

    I'm getting my mom an embroidered handkerchief with a message and my wedding date on it, and my dad a fishing lure with my date on it. Then I'm just going to give them a wedding picture afterwards.

    I'm getting handkerchiefs embroidered with message for both of them on etsy.

    ETA: @AwkwardToBe could I ask where you're getting the fishing lure? SUCH a great idea!

    I did the note embroidered handkerchiefs for my parents along with a bracelet for my mom that matched what I was wearing. DH didn't get anything for his parents.

    I bought my father an embroidered handkerchief and a picture frame basically saying I'll always be his little girl. I bought a keychain for my mom with one of her favorite quotes, a bottle of Bailey's cherry chocolate (her favorite) and a coffee cup saying "I can't keep calm, I'm the mom of the bride!". I want to get them each something else but haven't decided what.

    I got my FMIL a dangle bracelet with a cross and a charm saying "Thank you for raising the man of my dreams". My FFIL is getting a t-shirt saying "Best dad in the Galaxy" (huge star wars fan). I bought my FSIL an Anna/Elsa artwork which says "Being a sister is better than being a princess".
