Parent Gifts

Did/are you get/ting your parents gifts for the wedding? If so what?

we are but we have no idea what or how much we will spend.  
i know one traditional gift is a photo album, so my first idea was a digital frame loaded with some wedding and family photos. that way they could load it up with their own photos after the wedding hoopla dies down. but the more we thought about it we kind of thought that was a bit of a "selfish" gift, if that makes sense? like, "here, look at us everyday when you wake up!" So now we're thinking of individualizing the gifts and giving them each something they would enjoy. But I haven't gotten any further than that in the thought process.  So we could still end up going with the digi frame in the end. god only knows at this point.
yeah, i realize this has been of zero help to you! Sorry!

We got our moms these frames.  We used my maiden name for my mom and we did "family" for my MIL, since she's remarried now.  I put pictures of everyone into the frames for them, they absolutely LOVED them!  The letters are large enough to fit pictures in too, i was very impressed with them!

We got the dads personalized coffee mugs, since all the GM/Ushers were getting them already.

We also bought them gift cards to their favorite restaurant, so they could enjoy a nice meal on us.

We haven't completely decided, but I think that we are going to buy them a wall mount of their favorite wedding photograph. My FI's mom already has 8"x10"'s of his other siblings' wedding photos, so it will go on the wall along side those

I forgot to mention that personalizationmall.com has sales pretty regularly, so wait for them to go on sale...and if you sign up for their emails, you'll get 25% off codes frequently too

We got my parents a weekend away up north at a nice resort. It was a pricey gift, but they are paying for 3/4 of the wedding, so I figured it's the least I could do to say Thanks. No idea what we will get FI's parents!

My parents know that we are strapped for cash, so we will probably pick something small up for them on the honeymoon.

We get 3 photoshoots from our photog, so we're going to take some pictures with our siblings and give those to our parents.

I think we're getting our parents gift cards for restaurants they like.
