Parent gifts

Are y'all giving your parents gifts on your wedding day? I want to give my parents gifts as a thank you for paying for the wedding, but FH parents haven't helped or even offered to help. Should we get gifts for his parents as well?

    Same here. Except my fiance barley likes it when his parents do come to holidays. It's honestly a miracle I convinced him to invite them to the wedding. That's why if we get them something it will be a small like "Thanks for showing up and not causing a scene" type thing. lol

    My FH's family hasn't been supportive of the engagement. His mother is refusing to attend the ceremony, so I can't see us giving her a "thank you" gift of any kind because I don't know what we'd be thanking her for. His father and sisters will be coming, but I'm leaving it up to FH if he wants to offer his dad a gift. My family has been incredibly supportive and we will absolutely do something for them. If they're paying for something like the rehearsal dinner, you should try to get them something. But I think that whether they're paying or not, it's a nice gesture if they've been supportive of your marriage.

    Always be inclusive to a certain extent just to avoid drama in my opinion. I would at least get his parents something small. You can literally go to target and get his mom some earrings and call it a day.
