Quick Gift Question

lv2011

I know that all wedding party members and parents, readers, ushers, etc. should be given a gift of appreciation for their time and taking part in the day. I'm curious about the parents of the ring-bearers and flowergirls. They should be given a gift too, right? I mean, the kids aren't spending the money on dresses/ tuxes, or doing the driving. What would be appropriate to give them? I was thinking a gift card to a restaurant or something.

Just in case anyone thinks I'm not gifting to the kids, I am. I'm just wondering about the parents and what others have done in the past. Is there an etiquette rule that applies for them? Or is it a just "shop for them as you would a friend" type thing?

I don't think you need to do anything for the kids parents.

I think a gift card to a restaurant would be a very thoughtful gift for the parents of the WP children.  You are, however, not obligated to get them anything.

I did not give anything to our FG's parents. She mostly lives with her grandmother. I paid for her dress. 

For a gift for her, I took her to Build A Bear. Also, I made welcome bags, and in addition to the one everyone else got, she also got one with a bubble wand, sticker book, travel Uno, etc.

I dont think you have to give anything but like PP said a small gift card or anything like that wouldnt hurt.
