Great Gifts for Parents of Bride and Groom

I was debating what to get my parents and FI's parents.  I intend to get them all an album of the wedding photos, but I felt like it would be proper to get them something before the wedding.  I will give my mother and Fi's mom theirs at the bridesmaid's brunch on Friday morning and the Father's theirs at the RD.

I got them from Etsy Seller - ccbgknikolich

Here is what mine said:
For the Father of the Bride:
Dad,
You will always be
the first man I ever loved.

I love you,

For the Mother of the Bride:
Mom,
To dry your tears
as you have
always dried mine.
I love you,

For the mother of the groom:
Thank you for raising
your son to be the
man of my dreams.

With Love,
Carolyn

I am the luckiest
girl in the world.

    Very nice! I actually did the same thing, got one each for my father, mother, FMIL, and step-mother, from another etsy seller, EmbroiderybyLinda. She gave me a discount on the hankies and boxes since I was getting 4. We're doing digital photo frames to give them at the rehearsal dinner, and then the day of the wedding I'm going to take them each aside to give them the handkerchiefs.

    Super cute!  I love this idea!
    Especially since I come from a bunch of "waterworks" :)
    We are all a little emotional so this is perfect!
    Good find!

    Very cute!  I'm doing something similar with vintage hankies I found.  I'm also giving one to each of the BMs.

    I love this idea too, but I'm getting mine from the etsy seller CoutureWeddingHankie www.etsy.com/shop/CoutureWeddingHankie  She offers different styles of hankies and I would like to get a different style for my mom and MIL.  I'll like this style for my MIL, but I'm not getting the shamrock font. I'll personlize it with a saying.  Although, I think the shamrock is great for something Irish.

    I love this idea too.  However, I'm getting my hankies from a different Etsy seller, CoutureWeddingHankie www.etsy.com/shop/CoutureWeddingHankie  I like that she has different styles of handkerchiefs.  I like this style for my MIL, but I'm not getting the shamrock on it (althought, it would be nice for an Irish theme).  I'm going to put some type of personalization on it.  Haven't picked out the one for my mom yet.
