chrissytina924 · June 15, 2010

so we leave in 9 days and i am stumped for gifts.. i was hoping you girls can shed some light on what you did or will do for gifts..

the bridal party is covered.. we purchased the guys outfits for them & for the girls we are paying for their updo's.. MOH we are getting a massage for at the hotel

we are stumpped on:

best man (thinking credit for the casino if we cant think of anything else but would rather not) we are looking to spend about $75 to $100 and dont want to pay for an excursion bc we dont want to pay for his girlfriend to go with him..

both our moms (about $50 each) was thinking possible this nice bookmark from things remembered and getting something engraved on it but im not sure what)

both our dads (about $50 each) have NO clue lol

his parents are together so if need be we can spend $100 for them together but my parents are not??

Help ladies... we ship out in days and i have no clue what to do!!

Thanks

For the parents you could get them a nice picture frame with a note in it saying they will be receiving a wedding photo after the wedding (could make sure you take on of you and the groom with both sets of parents.

Would they enjoy massages? You could get his parents a couples massage and do your parents separately.

I like the idea about getting them picture frames and then buying them a picture afterwards.

I'm planning on getting my parents a gift certificate for a B&B to use after the wedding since they like taking little weekend trips.

For single parents I think engraved picture frames are good. If the dads are cigar smokers I've seen engraved cigar boxes with humidifiers for $50 on one of the wedding websites.

For the best man I've seen some nice head phones in wedding magazines. That's something most guys would like and wouldn't get for themselves, and he'll probably appreciate a nice noise canceling pair on the flight home if any babies are around.

You can also get good sunglasses for him. Nothing crazy, but you can find really nice ones from $75-100. That's what I'm thinking of doing for the GMs in my wedding.

Hope that helps. =)
