Speaking of gifts for parents...

We're planning on getting everyone something, but my mom and step dad were the only ones who contributed any money to the wedding or rehearsal dinner. So in my head I feel like they should get something bigger than FI's parents. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings though. 

So my question for all of you is: are your gifts to your parents all equal even though their contributions aren't?

    Yes, our gifts will all be about the same. FI's dad is hardly contributing anything in comparison to his mom, who is contributing the most. But again, we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

    Neither of our parents are contributing to our wedding. But to answer your question, yes they are all getting the same things.

    both of our parents will be getting the same album.  however, my parents are contributing a lot more than his parents, and i am thinking about doing something special for them on my own.

    perhaps you could do something special and additional for your mom and step dad? like take them out for a nice meal to thank them for their contribution? this would mean a lot to them, but wouldn't offend the others in any way.

    they will not be getting equal things.  FI has a very off and on relationship with his parents.  I'm not worried about hurting feelings since we won't be giving our parents' gifts at the same time, and they don't talk to each other or see each other ever anyway.

    Both sets of parents are getting similar photo albums (probably just different pictures) for gifts.  His parents haven't contributed much but really can't and my parents are paying the majority of the bill.  We wanted to keep it all equal and have no feelings hurt.

    Our parents are getting similar gifts even though neither of them are providing anything for our wedding we are doing it ourselves. For me its just easier that way.

    We are planning on getting my parents a little bit more of a present them his parents since they have contributed above and beyond what we expected and they deserve it. Im not quite sure what that will be yet.....but we will figure it out. We will still get his parents something very nice though.
