Thank you present ideas for my Mum and Dad

My dad contributed for the whole venue so we've got him a really special watch...

My mum along with mother of the groom will get an orchid on the day x

So they had something to keep, I got my parents an embroidered handkerchief with a cheesy saying on it.

As a proper thank you for both sets of parents, we are taking them away on a long weekend trip where we'll treat them.

I always find my parents difficult to buy for as they don't really need anything , have so many keepsake trinkets and special gifts from different events over the years, which my mum always tries to find a place for at home and I have to bear in mind they wont be going straight home afterwards since they will be staying at ours with the kids allowing us to go on honeymoon so I've opted to get them a small keepsake gift each and pay for a room upgrade for the weekend of our wedding , hoping they will enjoy it and find it more relaxing if they have this additional space. Is this an option for you ?? or maybe you could get them some theatre tickets for a date after the wedding so they can enjoy an evening out together after all the rush and stress of the big day has died down ??? could still get them a small trinket as a keepsake as well .

Hope this helps

I really like these ideas. I'd love to be able to give my mum and orchard to keep but she can't look after flowers or plants and it wouldn't last 5 minutes! lol

I've actually already bought them each an embroidered hankie to give them the morning of the wedding as I thought it would be a nice keepsake and I know there will be tears! So I'm leaning towards giving them some like theatre tickets and/or a weekend away.

It's so difficult as like you say about your parents, they have so many trinkets etc. I would also like to give them a wedding album of their own but that's not exactly something I can give them on the day or for a little while after the wedding...

I've got them a little plaque with something sentimental on from Little Love Designs, have a look on facebook they're gorgeous!

Not sure what else to get though.
