8 Ideas for Parent Gifts

Personalized Photo Albums or Frames

Parent gifts are sentimental if you include photos, especially older photos of you and them. Put together a collage of photos of you and them over the years or write a sweet note and include a space for them to include their own photo of their choosing.

Another popular gift is putting together a book of your wedding photos. This would be given after your wedding, but that’s okay! This is a gift that they will enjoy forever.

Make it Personal

What do your parents/guardians love? What are their hobbies or what do they need? Give them a painting for their house, something they can use for their kitchen, a trinket of something they treasure. Every time they look at or use your gift, they will think of you and your wedding day.
