Gifts for Parents, Bridal Party, Etc...

What are you doing for gifts for everyone that you have to give them to? I have no idea where to start for our parents. My MOH I think I'm doing either a necklace from Tiffany or a coach bag w/fun little stuff. BM is up to my FI, with supervision. Let me know what good ideas you've come up with for everyone!

Re: Gifts for Parents, Bridal Party, Etc...

  • I'm doing personalized photobooks for our parents with our photos throughout the wedding process (engagement - wedding).  You can order them from Snapfish, Shutterfly or many other places to truly personalize.  For BM and Groomsmen, a friend gave me a great tip.  She said that the rental ties are cheap so she gave them all ties as part of the gift and this way she had the boys in the exact tie she wanted.  As for MOH and Bridesmaids, I would check out Pinterest and Etsy for so many unique and thoughtful gift ideas.

  • I love the tie idea!! =)
  • I got my girls personalized robes from Etsy (pic below) and Victoria Secrets gift cards. I had two MOHs and I didn't get them VS gift cards but I got my sister a ring from tiffanys and my best friend bracelet from tiffanys. I know this isn't a "gift" but I also bought all of the earrings they wore that day. 
     
    For the groomsman, H got them these dresser caddy things. He didn't want to do a "typical" gift.

    For our parents, we also did photobooks. I got my mom a pandora bracelet too but H didn't get his parents anything extra.

  • i plan on getting my bridal party a gift card (haven't decided to where yet) a hand painted wine/beer glass (for the pictures mostly), ties (i know there is a website to get cheap ties), jewelry (maybe) and a bottle of wine

    For those giving the parents photo books, are you telling them that you are? My mom keeps bugging me about copies of our engagment pictures and I've just been telling her "i'm busy." I didn't want to ruin the gift. I also don't want my parents to feel left out when we give BP gifts....but obviously they can't get the photobook until after the wedding when we get our pictures back.

  • We just told our parents. I was feeling the same way...I didn't want them to think we just didn't get them anything. We gave them cards when we gave everyone else gifts, and I just mentioned it in the cards. We wrote kinda long, thoughtful messages in the cards, which I actually think might've meant more to them.
