I want to do something really special for the two of them but am having a hard time coming up with something. What have you all or what will you be giving to your parents as a thank you?

I'm having the same problem!  We are definitely going to give my parents an album after the wedding but I feel like we should do something more.  What do you girls think?  Or is an album enough?

In your case, how about giving the parents an overnight or weekend at a Bed & Breakfast? There are several in the area, and you could even pair it with tickets to a concert, play, or other event.

We gave our parents each an album of wedding pics, plus a GC to a fancier restaurant in their area for a nice night out. (DH and I covered the majority of our own wedding costs though.)

Good luck!
