What to Buy your Parents!

Around this time of year, I often get questions about what to buy your bridal party as a thank you for being such an important part of your special day.  Parents are often the toughest people to shop for.  Here are some ideas for you to consider…

I love the sentiment behind these personalized parent of the bride frames.  Paired with a picture of you from when you were a kid, it’s sure to get the waterworks flowing, and it’s a great reminder of the many emotions present during the wedding weekend.

If you have a way with words, try a personalized tablet frame, where you have room to write a poem or a brief message to the recipient.  Exclusively Weddings and Things Remembered are great places to buy frames like these.

Looking for something a bit more unique?  Etsy is your friend.You can purchase this Father of the Bride Hanky at Embroidery by Linda’s Etsy shop here for $19.  Personalized hankies also make great gifts for grandparents and moms.

Did your Dad instill your love of all things Star Wars?  Consider these Star Wars Darth Vader cuff-links for $26 at Cufflinks’s store here.  What they lack in sentimentality, they make up for in fun!

For moms, you could always personalize a great clutch, like this one from Gracey Bags’s Etsy Shop for $58 and add a personalized hanky. 

Red Envelope is also a great place to shop Parent gifts, especially for meaningful jewelry, but they also have great gifts for dads. 

I also new of one bride who bought this personalized throw for her mom.  It was a big hit!

Whatever you decide, just use your imagination and follow your heart.  Your parents should be happy with whatever gift you choose for them.  Happy Shopping!
