Parent Gifts

Hi guys! I am looking for a creative idea for a gift to give our parents at the wedding. Any suggestions? I would think we would spend around $100.00 or so for each set of parents? I would love to know what y'all gave your parents or if you just have a creative idea. Thanks!!

During this time I am treating them each to a massage to destress my mother because of all the planning and to calm my father as he writes all the final checks. :) The massages are $50 each so that hits my budget (same as yours) of $100 per couple.; April 23, 2007 at 7:59 AM

For my in-laws I got them these painted dishes with a golf theme from Swoozies. They own a club and the gift went over well.; April 23, 2007 at 9:11 AM

i do monograms said...: We had photo quilts made for our parents. We got to choose the design and colors and then we selected 9-10 photos of us as children to be placed throughout the quilt. We also were able to include a special message- mine read "Always and Forever Your Little Girl" The quilts tunred out beautifully and our parents loved them. We got them from http://doodlequilts.tripod.com. I believe they were $135 each.; April 23, 2007 at 12:40 PM

MonkeyGirl said...: For my parents, we had a set of black and white pictures framed. The frame held four pictures: one each of wedding pictures of my parent's parents, a wedding picture of my parents, and then me and my husbands engagement picture. Under each picture, we had the wedding date printed for each couple.; April 23, 2007 at 11:38 PM
