gifts for our parents PLEASE HELP

jalles

Is it ok if the gift we decide on for my (bride) parents is more lavish than what we get for his parents?  My parents are paying for the whole wedding, and we both have better relationships with my parents than we do his… what should I do???

I think that's fine, as long as you give them to them at separate times, and his parents won't find out about the price disparity.

Giving the parents gifts is not necessarily about thanking them for the payment of the wedding. It is about thanking them for raising you and guiding you through life. At the point of your wedding, they are pretty much done with raising  you.  So giving gifts based on how much people give you is kind of tacky.  I would give them both a gift that is in the same price range.  Even if you are giving them seperately, you are still telling his parents that your parents are cooler and are you ever going to be 100% sure that your parents or anybody else will not say something?  Be gratious for what his parents did do, which is raise him to be the amazing man you are going to marry.  How would you feel if your sibling got a mack-daddy gift at christmas and you got socks?
