I am at a loss. The dad's are getting pocket knives to match the GM's. I was thinking about sending the mom's to the spa for pre-wedding pretties but my mom is already doing that on her own so now what? My bm's are getting their hair and jewelry and I'm giving each set of parents a specail wedding photo album after the wedding. What the heck else is there? I was thinking of getting them each a pashmina but it's not really wedding related. Any ideas? Oh and do I need to get gifts for stepmom/stepdad as well? No we're not super close or having them play a key role in the ceremony. SOOOOOOOOOOO busy, getting really close!!!! Yikes Yikes Yikes
Re: mob and mom of groom gifts?
But for some ideas, maybe for the mom's, gift cards to their fav stores? A piece of jewelry for mom that would be special to her?
For the dad's, maybe money clips? Or nice engraved beer steins?
I'm sure the other girls will have great ideas, but I hope I helped!
What about an album of E-pics?
Am i another bad person for not even thinking of gifts for my parents and his? I'm thinking jennuine has a good idea - maybe framed e-pics? Something else i need to add to the list!!!
I'm thinking of getting my mum a piece of jewelry. I've never given her anything like that. I'm not sure what to give our dads. I'm also giving our parents a wedding album.

I don't think you necessarily need a gift for the steps since you are planning on giving each set of parents a wedding photo album. Just make sure that you honor the steps with corsage/bout like the other parents.
For the dads I bought some cool cuff links. They are gray & black checkered with silver hardware. I got them at KG (SO CHEAP & the GMs are wearing gray & black checkered Vans so I thought that would kinda go...). (for the GM I also got all their cuff links, but they are engraved with their initials). I also got my dad a frame that has these crystals on it and it says something like "daddy's little girl". It's really pretty (not cute like a little girl cute).
AND THEN.. we are also getting all the parents a coffee table book (from the photographer).
For my FI parents probably just take them out to a nice dinner to thanks for helping out. I'm all about experiences than trinkets
