Thanking my FILs

Jena8ly

My fiancé's parents are contributing significantly to our wedding. It's incredibly generous of them, and I would like to express my gratitude without sounding tacky and gauche. I want to thank them for their generosity, and I'm looking for ideas on the best way to do so and when to do so. Any advice?

This probably depends a lot on the personalities of your FI's parents. Does he have any thoughts on what they might appreciate? I can tell you that for myself and my husband, after both sets of parents contributed significantly to our wedding we not only sent them hand written rather lengthy thank-you's describing how much their help and support meant to us, but then made them personalized wedding albums with pictures of family and friends that were near and dear to them. Knowing my IL's as I do, I think that taking them out to a nice dinner would also have been something they would have appreciated if we had felt like going that route - they are the type of people who are very touched by "the thought" of things and always love to just spend time with my husband and I. Hope this helps.
