  It's one more piece of junk for the wedding industry to sell you. A heartfelt card is generally sufficient, though some give photo albums or other gifts. We chose books we knew they would enjoy.

  We got our parents engraved picture frames.  Since we didn't have wedding photos to put in the frames when we gave them the frames at the rehearsal dinner, we wrote letters and placed them in the frames.  Then, once we got our wedding photos back, we gave them all a photo to fill the frame.

  I am giving my mom a gift card to a store she likes because she did a ton of the planning for me without being a momzilla.

  
  

  I think it's completely appropriate and a nice gesture if your parents did something for you or were extremely helpful.

  We sent each set of parents a card with a note about a week before the wedding. As soon as we received our wedding pictures, I customized a photo book for the parents on Shutterfly with images each would like.
  
  Our folks don't want/need any more "stuff"...so it's up to you. Some people really like to get a physical gift.

  We're buying both sets of parents a picture from the wedding and a nice frame. I don't think either wants a wedding album.

  I got my mom, his mom, and his step mom all hangers with mom of bride/groom built into the wire that match mine and my bridesmaids. Not needed but I think it's nice.
