Hey ladies! What are you getting your parents for gifts on your big day? I've got plenty of time, but looking at my Knot budgeter, it allots money for parents' gifts, something I hadn't even thought of!! So, what are you thinking about getting them as your gift? I've also heard of the idea of just bringing the parents back something from the honeymoon?? TIA!

    You can truly do whatever you want.... What WE are doing is buying them a large gallery wrap from our photographer and allowing them to pick the picture they want on it.  So, on the day of, we will give them a card and explain to them that they will be able to choose their picture when the photographer posts them online in the proofing gallery.  We have a $300 credit with our photographer, so we will be using all of that for both sets of parents.  The large wraps (either 16x24 or 20x20) are about $150 each.

    The only idea I had so far was initialed handkerchiefs for the day of the wedding w/ the date on it as well. I'm sure all the parents will be tearing up. What about a "date" night for them. A gc to their favorite restaurant and movie tickets. Or tickets to a Bengals/Reds game??

    For both parents, we are doing a wedding album for them, and for my parents I'm getting a wine opener.preserver box that will be engraved.

    A cute thing I've seen is a 'then' and 'now' picture frame. You can get it engraved anywhere, or even just include the pictures. You put in one picture of yourself when you were little and another of you now. You can find frames anywhere that say 'Daddy's Little Girl' or something to that effect. Your fiance can do the same for his parents.

    Creating a wedding album for your parents is a great idea as others have commented on.  You could also purchase digital picture frames for them and fill them with fav pics from the wedding or other pics.
