Possibly one of the most beautiful things you can do when planning your wedding is to plan a gift for your parents. They have seen you through every stage of life, and it is important to recognize that on your wedding day. Here are three really special ways to say, “Thank you” to the parents of the bride/groom.
1. “For My Mother” Book
Consider this the grown-up version of the baby book your mom probably put together for you. Your mom (and dad!) will be feeling so many emotions on the day you get married, and it may be a little hard on them. Show them you care about everything they have done for you by filling in titles like “my first memory with you” and “my favorite lesson you have taught me.” Your parents will love being able to sit down with this book after an emotional day and remember how much they still mean to you.
2. Oak Tree
You are starting a new phase of life, and you will grow in so many ways. Gifting your parents with a baby oak tree that they can plant and watch grow into a mighty oak is a really cool symbol of this growth. It also symbolizes how your parents provided for you and gave you the resources you needed to grow in life. They can plant it somewhere special and always be reminded of your special day.
3. Bridal/Groom Portrait with Message
This idea is just precious. By thinking a little bit ahead of time, you can incorporate your parent gift into your bridal/groom portrait session. If you’re a groom and not really getting a set of portraits done like most brides do, you can still have one taken specifically for this. Get dressed up in exactly what you will be wearing on your wedding day and have a sign made for you to hold in the picture. It can be a small, framed chalkboard with words such as, “Forever your little girl” or “Always your little boy.” Your parents will cherish this for the rest of their lives.
All of these ideas are great ways to show your parents some love on your special day. After all, it will be a special day for them too!
Putting the finishing touches to your special day? Wanting to do something special for your future spouse? Here are some ideas for gifts you can give your groom!
1. Cold Feet Socks
Surprise your groom with socks for the big day that say, “In case you get cold feet!” He will love the humor!
2. Favorite Drink
Get him a bottle of his favorite whiskey or maybe the bottle of sake he’s been itching to try. He can share with his groomsmen while they get ready and toast to your wedding day.
3. Secret Message
Sew your wedding date on the back of his tie or give him a watch with a meaningful quote engraved on the back. This little token will be a memorable gift he can wear when you say “I do!”
Whatever gift you decide, your groom will be surprised and make the day even more special! For more great ideas and tips, visit the Wedding and Party Blog!
I’ve been invited to a an engagement party, bachelorette party and a bridal shower of a very dear friend of mine. What is the etiquette on gifts? Do I bring something to each event or just choose one?
Answer:
You only need to bring a gift to one of them and that is for the bridal shower. If you’re invited to more than one bridal shower, you’re only required to bring a gift to one of them.

Is it okay to ask for cash instead of usual wedding gifts?
Answer:
In this day and age, it is still considered bad form to request money as a gift preference. However, guest would be more willing to gift cash if they know what it is going towards. For example, if you would like the money to go to a dream honeymoon or for a new home, indicate that you would be grateful for their help to achieve your goal.
