Gifts for parents of the groom?

Emily, 9 February, 2024 at 11:12 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 3

Anyone any ideas on gifts for parents of the groom?

I'm sorted for my parents as they have more of a significant role on the day, but struggling to come up with something for my future in-laws. Nothing too pricy or too sentimental/soppy - just a nice, useful keepsake maybe. What have others done? Inspire me!

    A lot of people I know, and I plan on doing the same, have bought a bouquet of flowers for both mums on both sides. Men are harder so not sure on them but a nice bunch from a proper florist looks nice and won’t be too pricey.

    I totally understand wanting something thoughtful without going overboard. You could use a quick Family gift exchange to spark some personalized ideas tailored to their interests. A small keepsake like a custom photo frame or engraved cutting board often strikes the right balance of useful and meaningful. Pair it with a handwritten note expressing your excitement about joining the family for an extra special touch.

    Well my friends wanted change driving test date as a gift and i gave them the possibility to make it. You can change your test to an earlier date, a later date, or even a different test centre, all within certain limits set by the DVSA. Keep in mind, you can only make up to two changes per test booking, and moving both date and test centre together counts as just one change. I also found that these earlier cancellations appear briefly and your chances depend on how quickly you check the site or get notifications. The system is fully online so there’s no paperwork, no forms to send in, and no waiting on calls if you manage everything quickly yourself. It definitely felt more efficient than expected, but you do have to be pretty ready to act fast once you spot a slot.
