a nice thank you card is usually an apt thank you gift but I sent the card and took them out to dinner and had a couples-only-night. we went to the movies and then to dinner. it’s a fantastic time for your new husband to bond with your parents and for you to bond with his. the grandparents also. tell amusing and embarassing tales and its all in excellent fun. congratulations
We struggled with this too. We’re indebted to our parents, but didn’t want to spend a chance. We chose to get them digital picture frames. We bought Kodak Simple Share frames at Walmart for about $150. We’ll be loading wedding photos on them after the wedding for them to show off.
We wanted to avoid dust collector gifts. It’s practical, yet thoughtful. Best wishes!
You don’t have to spend a lot of money. You could help them with a project at their home - clean up the garage, build/assemble some furniture. A touch you can do together. What they would doubtless really appreciate is some time with you. Maybe go out to dinner with them, or have them over for dinner at your place. I’m sure they would also like a grandkid (but not before the wedding
Well - we were only thinking around $100-200 for each set of parents, but we wanted to get them a touch special since they all spent so much towards the wedding and all. We bought gift vouchers for a 2 night stay at the log cabin where me and my hubby got engaged - it is a lovely relaxing spot and we knew our parents would delight in it. It finished up costing us $380 each (total of $760 for both sets of parents). It was a lot for us - but we figured that they had spent a whole lot more and we were spending much more on just ourselves (ie for our honeymoon) so that amount of money was nothing in comparrison. It really depends on what you can afford - being parents they will appreciate anything, but we just thought it would be nice to get them a touch they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) get for themselves.
Never heard of giving the parents a gift! I would print a nice note to them on the back of your wedding program. That would be enough. Are your parents expecting a gift? Is this a tradition in your families? I really don’t reckon it
s nescessary. You could acknowledge them publicly at your reception. that would be nice.
