Parent Gifts

abrozowski · April 2013

Ok, so I've been trying to figure out something to get both sets of parents as a gift for the wedding. Unfortunately, my fiance and I don't have a ton of extra money lying around and I can't even begin to show my appreciation for all they have done with a gift. But, I thought maybe I could do a "night on the town" kind of gift for each set of parents. I was thinking a gift card to their favorite restaurant and to a movie theater (and then also a framed engagement picture since we never got around to printing them haha). I thought it would give them a chance to go out and enjoy themselves after the wedding but it will be realtively inexpensive for us. What do you think? I also got the mother's (and my dad, but that is going to be a special moment between just us two) an embroidered hankerchief for the day of the wedding. I know it is the "thought that counts" but I just feel like I owe them the world for all they have done (especially my parents)!

We were actually thinking about doing the same thing. I bought necklaces off of Etsy for our Moms and I was thinking of getting our Dads something in the same price range and then buying restaurant gift cards for each. Our parents honestly don't need anything and like you said we don't have extra money lying around. So I think it's a good idea.

We're in the same boat as far as money goes, and while I'd love to thank our parents with something super special, we just don't have the money right now. This idea is wonderful though and I think it'd really be put to use!
