Gifts from the bride

Johna, on March 5, 2021 at 1:23 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 8
Hey all!


I’m struggling with gifts to give the day of the wedding as the bride. Specifically for my mother-in-law.
I’ve been incredibly close with my fiancé’s family for 5 years now, I lived with them for 2 years, so most of the typical gifts popping up on Etsy and Pinterest really aren’t cutting it for me.
Did anyone do anything particularly sweet or creative in this area? TIA for any ideas!

    My husband and I gave her a framed engagement photo. The photo was taken at the park we got engaged at, where she was also a park cop for nearly 20 years and next to a tree she planted in honor of her dad after he passed away.

    We told parents that our gift to them would be a wedding album when we got photos back. If you took engagement photos (we didn't), Veronica's suggestion of a framed 1 sounds great. I think sentimental is the way to go with parents.

    We're gifting our moms a framed engagement photo which we'll replace with a wedding photo when our album is finished! I'm thinking of having us write a short letter to them both and taping it to the back of the frame.

    We didn't give day of gifts to our parents. We designed and ordered wedding albums for them when we got our pictures back.
