Parent Gifts for Both or One Wedding?

Katie, on September 29, 2020 at 2:58 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

Hi Everyone,

For those that got married in a small ceremony and then are planning their big post covid reception next year, are you planning to give gifts to your parents this year and next year? Or only for the small ceremony since it will be when you are legally married? Or only for the big wedding since it will be when you do all the bells and whistles? We're not doing bride and groom gifts this year and are waiting to do that next year so didn't think about parent gifts for this year until now and our small wedding is Sunday! I have an idea of what I want to get my parents and his parents but I always envisioned those moments for our big wedding (not ever did I think we'd have to do two!) so I was wanting to save that for next year but will it no longer be special since we will be married for a year at that time? TIA

    We're doing parents gifts just for the small wedding. I see the small wedding as more for us and family, and it's nice to give gifts when things are less hectic.

    I’m actually not a bride who’s splitting up our wedding celebration into two different days. But if I was, I would give my parents the gifts the day I actually get married, which is 1st day. That’s the day that really counts.

    It's totally up to you! Our gifts to our parents were really nice wedding albums - so in that case it might make sense to wait until the 2nd celebration! But since the 1st ceremony will already be so intimate, it could be the perfect time to do thank you gifts! 🎁

    We are doing parent gifts for our minimony, I think for next year we will give our parents printed photos from this year in a nice frame. For me, I'll also be getting my bridesmaids a bunch of things next year, like bath bombs, lip balm, wine, so I might just make up a bag for my mom as well.

    I'm doing gifts for both. Moms are getting bracelets and dads are getting ties for the mini wedding and for the reception their gifts will be bigger
