Parents’ gifts-help

One gift from
The both you would be enough with a nice note attached.

I also agree that one gift from both of you is enough

Hey there, Arlene.

As the PPs mentioned one gift from the both of you as a couple is sufficient

What are you thinking of getting them all?

No gifts to parents are necessary. So whatever you decide is okay. Parent gifts, like proposal gifts, things purchased for getting ready or for Bach parties, are all add -ons some people have done, now a trend. But most people give parents pictures after the wedding, in an album or nicely framed, not gifts just before the wedding. If they helped with money or time, a nice letter of thanks is required. Add you can save gifts for times like parent's birthdays, anniversary, Mother's Day & Father's Day , and holidays. The retail industry promotes giving gifts every time you turn around, because they profit. And industry supported we sites, magazines, TV etc. But they create opportunities to sell things. You should only give gifts you want to, and it sounds like really you don't. The only rule is if you give to one parent, maybe they were exceptionally helpful, you don't give the gift in front of others. But if you want to do just Bride's, or one set of his, do where you really want to, or not at all. Not an expected thing by etiquette.

View Quoted Comment Hi Cliodhna,


I was just a little confused bc most of the gifts ideas I find online are from bride to parents/future in laws or groom to parents/future in laws but not one from both bride and groom. So I wasn’t sure what the proper way is. I’m still looking for gift ideas 😩
