Who gets gifts?

gerij · July 2013

I'm about 5 months away and looking at bridesmaid gifts. Besides them, and the groomsmen, who else is it proper to give a gift to?

(Or if this topic is elsewhere, I would settle for a link :-)

Parents
Pastor - He has known DH since he was like 2.
Bridesmaids
Groomsmen
Flower Girl
Ring Bearer
DOC - my cousin, who did it just because she's fabulous
All other siblings.

I'm getting married in a month and traditionally only gifts are purchased for the wedding party.

We are giving gifts to our Bridesmaids, Groomsmen, flower girl and ring boy. Undecided on the parents yet but that covers it.

Usually,
wedding party
parents

But most parents really just want a photo album of the day of. You can always ask them..

We gave gifts to our wedding party, my mom (this was from me), and my aunt who was a reader in our wedding. I also paid for my grandmom and aunt to have their nails done to say thank you for helping with a few different things during my planning.

I think this has come up before, but if you're planning on getting your parents a photo album, what do you get them at the wedding? Just a nice card and explain their future present?

My wedding is in august, so I was thinking that by the time I get my photos back, it might make more sense to just do the albums as Christmas presents.

Yes. But my wedding is in June, photographer guarantees no more than 8 week turn around with more of a 3-4 week. Then I'll let my parents pick their photos they'd like and make them a book out of them

and of course in the card thank them for everything they have done for me/FI through our lives that molded us to who we are today. His mom is extremely sappy so will love it. I might get a wall photo hanging thing too and give that to them the day of since my parents already have a collage of my brother's wedding photos on the wall. Then when I get the photos make big prints of their favs for it.
