How to honor Parents/ Sister

I'm looking for a way to honor my parents and my sister/brother-in-law at my reception.  I've specifically chosen our wedding date on August 3, 2013 because my sister got married August 1st and my parents on August 2nd.  Around midnight, my sister played my parent's wedding song, which just they danced to, to honor them at her reception (They did not know about it!!). I'm looking for a creative (and suprise) way to honor both my parents and my sister at my reception.  Any ideas???

    Are they still with you? Your post confuses me a little. 

    If they are not, I know there have been many wonderful threads on how to honor passed loved ones. 

    If they are, have your sister be MOH or a BM, and have your parents attend and do the usual 'parent' things.  I don't think anything else is needed or expected.

    I'm getting married at the same place that my parents got married, and also my parent's were married on my dad's 25th birthday, and we are getting married on FI's 30th birthday. We are just going to have our officiant mention something during the ceremony about following the footsteps of a great example of a marriage. And during the groom's speach at the reception he may mention it. But I think it means a great deal more to us than most people at the wedding, so we are trying not to go overboard.

    You could mention it in your program, if you are having one.

    I think "honoring" them makes them sound dead or that they aren't going to be there. I don't think you need to do anything if they will be at your wedding. At most maybe play a small mash-up of both of the other couples songs right before or after your first dance if you are willing to forgo or do very short father/daughter mother/son dances.
