Parents Gifts from Bride & Groom
I have about 24 hours and still no gifts for FI and I to give our parents. We've got his parents, my dad and step-mom and my mom to buy for. Looking for ideas for something quick/easy, but, you know thoughtful (heh)! What did you do? Thanks!
Re: Parents Gifts from Bride & Groom
how exciting - 24 hours!!
For both of our parents, we did a really nice card and DH and I both wrote something in it. Then we included a note that said we would be purchasing a photo album for them after the wedding - with photos of their choice.
After we got photos back, I had them go through them and pick their top 100 that they would want in their album and created a great one on mypublisher.com
And now MIL is re-decorating her house and has been talking about wanting a photo wall of her family. There were so many great shots of her and her kids, grandma, and all the rest I'm going to have a few printed and framed for mothers day.
Not too original - but we had a hard time with that too... so it's the route we went with.
Other ideas: watch, perfume, locket, earrings, necklace, tickets to a game or show, a night at a bed and breakfast in fredricksburg, a massage at a local spa, facials...
hope that helps.

Love this! Plus it means I don't have to shop for it today. Thanks!
exactly! We did our cards as we were getting dressed for the rehearsal dinner.

Pretty much this exactly, except I picked the pictures myself.
