I'm so stuck on this? What are you getting for your parents? I know I want to make my mother a duplicate copy of our wedding book but that won't be done until months after the wedding.
Are you going to give it to them at your rehearsal dinner or the day of your wedding?

Re: Parent Gifts????
I actually talked to my parents about this. They too were kinda shocked, and said that they were supposed to buy me presents, not the other way around.
So, I am going to give them a copy of our wedding book for the following christmas.
I am Catholic, and there is a tradition of honoring the Virgin Mary and your parents in the ceremony. It is really nice, and gives you the opertunity to recognize what both parents have done for you both over the years. At this point, it is common practice to present a bouquet of flowers and a heart felt letter to each set of parents.
This might be a cool way to acknowledge them in the ceremony, without making it an ackward (sp) (or expensive) thing.
