Parents gifts

Well when my fiancee and I get married, we plan on buying something that my parents can use around the house that I know they need as a thank you, or we may just buy them each a gift card and let them choose their own gift. That way, we know they will buy something they actually want (or may need) Its not the gift itself that matters hun, its the thought that counts

Congratulations! When my husband and I got married, we sort of had a similar dilemma. We weren't sure what to get, and we kind of wanted to do something a little extra for my parents because they contributed the most. I know it may sound not very original, but we did gift cards for each set of parents. That way we were able to just pick the amounts, and we just gave more to my parents. My mom had mentioned to me before that once I was married and out of the house, she wanted to start trying out a different restaurant for dinner once a week with my dad. She had mentioned some of the places she really wanted to try, so instead of getting one big giftcard, I got different cards in smaller amounts for the places she wanted to try. We were still able to control our budget easily that way also. Anyway, I don't know if that helps much, but that was our idea! Good luck with the rest of your planning and have a great wedding--it will be such a fun day for you!!

Congratulations to you. I am also getting married to my fiance. I'm not sure exactly what to get them, but I would think the cheaper things would be something that wasn't really recognized as a wedding based gift. You know, I know this is going to both sets of parents, but they do have bridesmaids/groomsmens gifts, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have something for parents as well. I think that the best thing to do is find out what they like. My fiance's mom likes Danielle Steel, and Sun Flowers. My fiance's dad likes golf and poker. My mom likes pretty much anything crafty, and the colors blue and now recently a limish green (I think). My fiance's parents are helping us pay for it, and I know they don't expect anything but I know my fiance and I are hoping to help them pay for a vacation they are taking us on + doing for themselves. I hope that this helps.

congrats to you too. i think you should consider getting something personal and it is not the money or price that matters but the thought.I think you should get something done up for them which they can see and view and i had a friend who did this and i think it was a really great idea. They created a wedding montage and get a song specially composed with lyrics relating to them and their family and it really add a personal touch to it. You can use it as a gift and allow your parents to share and view your wonderful moments again and again when u are not with them. The music/song can also be created in such a way that the lyrics is in appreciation of them. you can check out for more help at this site and i think they would be able to help you, www.my-song.ca
