What do you get your parents for gifts??

Michelle, on June 27, 2012 at 1:19 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

I'm having a hard time coming up with possible gifts for the parents (both of the groom and my own). How do you thank your parents with just a gift?? It seems weird giving them an engraved frame or trinket for being there for us our entire lives. Any suggestions on something not super expensive, but has a big impact?

    I am giving my dad a tie, cuff links and a pocket watch.

    My mom I got earrings, a necklace and a ring.

    After the wedding I am going to send them a photo book of all of the pics

    I'm going to give my in-laws a card with a promise to give them a baked-good of the month for a year. I love to bake, and they don't live too far away, so I thought that'd be something nice I could do that wouldn't cost too much, but would be a constant reminder of how much my FH and I appreciate them and all their help. Not sure what to do for my dad though (he lives a few states away)

    I was introduced to these on Etsy by another WW bride, so we'll probably go with these, as well as photo albums/books after the wedding.

    @Kirst, I showed those to a co-worker who is getting married this weekend (showed her about a month ago), she got them as well! You have great taste!

    @Michelle, I'll give you the link, but in exchange, you have to change your avatar to anything other than the default, LOL! Mrs. Clark aka Mrs. Awesomepants posted a link to how to do it 3 above you. Here's the seller: http://www.etsy.com/shop/customsepia/

    I embroidered handkerchiefs for my parents with little poems on them and my wedding date. My family is quite emotional though and I know that they will be used at my wedding!
