Parents gifts 💕

Kaleigh, on October 23, 2019 at 10:30 PM Posted in Planning 1 39
With 40 days left till the wedding, I finally sat down and ordered our parents gifts 💕
We ordered both of our moms these beautiful quilted monogram bags. (He picked a tan/beige for his mom and a charcoal for mine) and for my dad we ordered a customized wallet that has my favorite picture of the two of us (my dad and i) from my childhood. I know he’ll cry when he gets it!

The only thing left is FH’s stepdads gift, who is always notoriously hard to buy gifts for 😂

What did you guys get your parents?

    That’s so beautiful!
    We got the dads cufflinks that said best dad along with matching sucks with all the guys. For moms we got them a summer trendy purse (bamboo ones) along with some lipstick.

    Hey Kaleigh! Your gifts sound really beautiful and thoughtful for your parents.

    Does your FFIL have a favorite drink or any specific hobbies that he enjoys? You could get him a pair of cufflinks, a belt buckle or a watch if he would be interested in something like that.

    If he isn't a person that is big on gifts, is there something that you know he has been thinking about buying himself that you could get, or even a gift voucher for a store that he loves.

    Does he have a favorite restaurant that you could get him a gift card for?

    These are great gift ideas! Do you have any photos of what you've ordered? I'd love to see those bags! We got our Dad's random miscellaneous stuff because we weren't sure what to get them. But we got our moms signs from Etsy and had them framed.

    I got my dad an engraved watch and father of the bride tie clip. For my stepdad engraved whiskey glasses and whiskey. For my stepmom, earrings, wine glasses and handkerchief. For my mom earrings, special necklace and handkerchief. For my fmil earrings and handkerchief. For my ffil a father of the groom tie clip but he’s not coming so I’m trying to give it away. I wanted to get my parents restaurant gift cards as well but I ran out of money. After my photos come out I’m going to put together photo books for everyone.

    I got the moms bracelets my moms was a mother daughter one and MIL was a family tree one. I got my dad father of the bride cuff links. One said father of the bride the other said always your little girl. He cried. I also plan on getting him a framed picture of us when I walked out of the bridal suite to meet him to be walked down the aisle. We both were crying. Hubby got his dad a cane sword (because they are nerdy like that ) and it was special Smiley smile

    My daughter and her husband took both sets of us parents out on a cruise lunch on the Odyssey in Chicago. It was awesome spending time with them before the wedding. They still arrange "parental play dates" as they call them for us all to get together, lol.

    I’m doing this for my parents and my fh is buying his dad a pocket watch. We will both be writing the other parent a note from us.

    Oops it hadn't even occurred to me to do parent gifts. Is that a common tradition?
