Gift for Rehearsal Dinner Host?

Danielle5584

My godparents are hosting the rehearsal dinner and paying for the food to help us with the cost of the wedding (my fmil cannot afford to pay for a rehearsal dinner so the expensive fell on my parents and us). What would be a good gift for them? I was thinking about a resturant gift card, but can't really afford to get them a giftcard for a nice resturant and be able to cover their meal. What do you suggest spending and what gift ideas do you have? My godparents are married, in their late fifties, with no kids.

We gave our RD hosts (my parents and my aunt and uncle) a bottle of their favorite wine and an assortment of jams from a local farm along with a hand written thank you card.

Don't know your budget, but, here's a thought:
$25.00 gift card to the movies (since they're getting really expensive!) and they can use what's left on it for concessions.
and
$25.00 gift card to a restaurant near the theater.

You could give your Godparents a picture frame and promise them a wedding photo of you, your new husband and them.Or your could give them a corsage and bout on your wedding day. A well written thank you note, after the dinner would be appreciated.
