Parent gifts

Th, on June 27, 2021 at 7:06 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4
Hey all! So we are thinking of parents gifts and just wanted some ideas from people about gifts that won’t break the bank! Also my parents r paying for the plates for our 200 person wedding, fiancé’s mom and step dad who raised him are helping out a lot. His dad and step mom are coming as guests and their dad and step mom of the groom role, but not involved in the planning what so ever, just excited to be there! Should we get them a little something too? I’ve read parent gifts r for them to thank them for their advice and help, and his dad and step mom who we r close w wouldn’t be upset if they didn’t get a gift (we r gonna give them in private anyways) but should we still do something for them!? Too much thinking and trying not to stress, any advice would be welcomed.. thanks!

    I’ve never heard of giving parents gifts but it is common to give them a photo album after the photos are developed/printed.

    Pinterest has a lot of really great/sentimental gift ideas! I’ve seen people gift a handkerchief with an embroidered message to their father (can purchase on Etsy), I’ve seen customized message cards thanking the mother with an accompanied necklace/earrings, some people even gifted a picture of themselves with their parents in a picture frame, etc.! I’d definitely check out Pinterest for more ideas Smiley smile good luck!

    Hi Th!! Photo albums were our wedding gifts to our parents - but we did write them really nice thank you notes for the wedding day and let them know their gift would be coming later!

    We got really nice albums made through our photographer (that got pretty pricey!) 📷
