Gifts for Family?

I am wondering about this too. My parents have paid for my dress and will be contributing about 10k in total for which we are obviously extremely grateful . We are paying for DJ, cars, flowers, photography and hair and make up.
My FH family have not offered anything and barely mention the wedding in any comms he has with them ( I never speak to them!) so I’m clueless as to what to get his mum- she is his only parent as he’s lost his dad years ago. I don’t feel like she deserves much as she doesn’t seem bothered about us even getting married!

Same boat! I have bought everyone a personalised tea towel, made the bridesmaids jewellery and decorated a box for it and then got loads of pamper stuff. For my mum I'm getting her a charm for her pandora bracelet and my dad I'm going to get a personalised handkerchief but with something amusing instead of cheesy or cringe so everyone has something they can wear on the day and keep for future. NO IDEA for best man or FH side 🤷‍♀️

View quoted message Oh I'd give him mum a bunch of flowers and thats it.... Your paying of her meal and all the rest already, I don't think she needs a gift. Only those that have contributed...

View quoted message When you say teatowel? What do you mean? Do you have a link? Xx

For our bridal party we are giving a voucher for their fave shops, I hate all the tat and personalised glasses/mugs/hip flasks, no one needs them or uses's them ( ihavebjust thrown out 3 best man glasses he never used!) so I would rather gift them something they will use to treat themselves. For parents I can't say as we are not having any help from them, but maybe an experience day like spa day or race track day of that is their thing or a voucher for a really nice restaurant they wouldn't normally go to

View quoted message You are probably right. Don’t want to sound mean but his family don’t even seem that excited which is such as shame as mine are thrilled. Oh well you can’t choose your family!

View quoted message I think i just typed personalised tea towels into etsy, there are hundreds! I chose a rustic one with a simple design. For the bridesmaids it literally said 'bridesmaid' then the date, and for my parents ones it said our names and the date x

I'm going traditional with mother of bride and mother of groom and gifting boxed flowers (£100 all together)

Groomsmen (inc father of groom) are getting personalised hip flask (£10 each from Amazon) and some personalised cufflinks (£3 each from Amazon)

Bridesmaids will get earrings (buying a 3 set from Warren James for £10 and splitting) and something pretty for their hair (budgetting £5pp), flower girls will get a personalised bracelet from Ebay (£7) and a flower girl colouring book from Amazon (£5) xx

Weve been thinking about this too! Struggling for the MOB and MOG but for FOB going to get one of those personalised ties with a picture on the reverse, bridesmaids will get robes for getting ready and jewellery for the day and groomsmen are getting a box with a cigar whisky etc. FoB is into fishing so and engraved lure along with whisky same as groomsmen Nothing personalised to be specifically wedding related.

Depending on what you wanted to spend, I've seen a really cute thing ( click link ) where an artist/illustrator will do a picture of your dress alongside your mum's outfit - all it seems you need to do is send pictures over.

View quoted message Can I ask are you giving your gifts after speeches or in the morning so people can make use of they’re gifts on the day?

I also have this question!

View quoted message I think I’m going to give the bridesmaids there bags of gifts for the wedding the night before (personalised hangers, pins for their hair, dressing gowns etc, then on the day during speeches give the bracelets we’re got them.


Hope that helps. Would love to know what you are thinking too!
