Gifts what to buy??? help

View quoted message

I'll check now, my mother in law has not used hers yet and she got it for Christmas two years ago.

Woman I do not mind re-gifted gifts if you are not going to use it.

Cricut has been my best friend for the wedding

I love these! I'll check out Shadow & Sun. My friend and my STB MIL also has a cricut, so I may borrow it and get my friend to help me with some ideas.

Thanks ladies

Not sure what to get both sets of parents yet, but I’ve got my bridesmaids covered.
I’ll be paying for their hair & makeup + I bought everyone matching robes and slippers plus a little necklace for their birth month flower. I made tote bags with their birth month flower and makeup bags as well

Love the socks for your Dad, what a great idea. Making a custom beer glass for your FIL would look good with his collection. I also found my soon MIL hard to buy for, she don't need much or want much. I might add candles to my girls baskets, never though of those. For my FH I had a handkerchief made with a special saying for I know he is going to an emotional mess and will need it...lol

Here to enjoying our special day with all of our family & friends.

Hi Shelly,

These are great Ideas, I am taking notes for sure. I love these ideas.

I think I will get the following but my mind keeps changing

My father in law has a collection of beer glasses, and my MIL has a cricut that she never used, so I think this would be 1 off my list, and a nice addition to his collection to have one with our names and our date.

My MIL has tons of jewelry she doesn't wear so I may steal some of the ideas that some of you gave me.

My Dad I thought of getting socks that say Dad. Of all the walks we've taken, today will be my favorite and a tumbler that says I survived my daughters wedding.

For my girls, I thought of a candle and Fast flats, they sell them at party city and on the pouch place their names on it.

My FH I am getting a wood engraved watch with socks that say in case of cold feet and his favorite bottle of liquor to calm his nerves. lol

The groomsman he is on his own since I've been stressing on what to buy the others he can deal with them lol.

Good Day,

For us, we bought my Mom we got her loop earrings and my soon to be MIL a family tree gold necklace, for my soon to be FIL I have a custom handkerchief made for him. For the wedding party (which is small) we got wicker baskets and filled them with items that is custom to each person. And since we are blending families the children are getting personal made brackets with gem crystals on them.

I bought all of the girls matching PJs for getting ready and then earrings. For my mother in law, I got her an engraved jewelry dish. I ordered my dad a tie that has a photo of us on the inside of it but haven't figured out something for my mom yet!

This is also a great idea, My bridal I'll pay for their hair, and then get them something they can use as well as remember my wedding at the same time.

The parents I may steal your idea lol

I got my mom similar to this! It's such a good idea, I got "for happy tears" and my wedding date embroidered on it

I think it's always nice to pay for a service for the girls if you want to (hair, makeup etc). In terms of gifts, I got my dad a tie clip engraved to wear that day, and my mom an embroidered handkerchief. For my bridesmaids I got them small glass trinket boxes with their initial, a dainty bracelet with a charm stamped with their birth flower, and a turkish beach towel with their initial embroidered. Oh and also some eye masks for them to use day of.

My dad and his mom are easy to buy for, but his dad is a little harder. I have lots of time, thinking also shop around for sales to keep it budget friendly, I also have someone who owns a cricket so I got some good Ideas that I can make and save more money. But I love these gift ideas, the blanket she might like. Thank you

Not my bridal party but I do like how this brides photo turned out super cute.

I got my mom an Unhide blanket (I have one myself and it’s the coziest best thing ever). I’m also planning to get her an illustrated picture of us two on the wedding day (bought beforehand). My dad maybe a flask or nice bottle of wine? No idea for him. I told my fiancé he has to handle the gifts for his own parents lol

This photo of your bridal party is so sweet

View quoted message Thanks, those are great ideas. I am paying for their hair but wanted something for the wedding and something to match their personalities just wasn’t sure what. But I’ve been getting some good ideas and they aren’t picky.

I’m paying for my girls hair and make up and giving them robes to get ready in or those long cute pyjama sets with their initials on the pocket I haven’t decided yet but each of the grooms men are going to get either a fancy bottle of alcohol or something along those lines.


I haven’t thought about gifts for my parents or spouses parents to be completely honest but it will probably be something that I feel matches them on wedding star they have really nice things when they are in stock!

View quoted message Love these ideas thank you, this helps a lot!

I got all of the parents these - They have them for Mother and Father of both Bride and Groom. I also got the moms robes and slippers in different colours than my bridal party since they were getting ready with us, and paid for half of hair and makeup.

For the bridal party, I got them all matching robes and slides, which worked out perfectly for photos. I also got them all a matching bracelet (they chose their own earrings) from Olive & Piper, and paid for half their hair and makeup as well.

For the guys, my husband bought all of their ties, pocket squares and socks.

Never thought of doing Etsy, we love buying locally and supporting small businesses, it's what we did for Christmas. These are all great ideas makes it harder now.

I have a lot of time to buy, my list is small, 3 parents, 1 FH, 4 wedding party members.

Thank you so much, I have a few great ideas to choose from.

Love the tear jerker idea lol

My bridal party is a small, so Im more open to spending more than the average bride might. I havent bought any gifts yet for day of, but I'll probably get my MOH some jewelry to wear and maybe PJs or robes, since we are having getting ready photos done. I also plan on paying for her hair and make up (as well as my mom)

I plan on doing something similar for parents. I'm going to buy mom and MIL a necklace and I think my mom and FIL the cute little hankies with sayings on them. The tear jerky type ahaha

As for the boys, still not sure what my FH wants to do, but we will for sure be buying them suspenders to hear that will be customized for them (as thats the look we are going for)

All these items Ive seen on etsy (I like supporting small business and if possible Canadian businesses too!)

So many great ides, I'll look into that. Thank you!

I ended up getting linen robes and balm dot coms (lip balms from Glossier) for the girls, and my fiancé is getting bottles of liquor for the guys (different ones depending on what they like)! We also wanted to get them things they can use/love after the wedding.

View quoted message

Oh I will for sure look there as well.

These are all great ideas. I was going to get jewelry but my taste is different from everyone. I want something fun and meaningful.

View quoted message You're so welcome. I did find similar ones at Party City as well

View quoted message

I will check it out, thank you so much!

I got them off Amazon

Love love the handkerchiefs where did you get them?

View quoted message

Oh that is a really great idea, his mom is huge on scrap booking, so I can have it started for her.

I want something they can use, I'm paying for their hair but I just feel it's not enough, I got them both a bridesmaid box with glass and champagne with tshirts and they both like squishmellows so got one that matches them. But now I'm looking for thank you gifts. These are great ideas.

That is a really great idea, Thank you Hank!

I only have my MOH standing up for me and I gave this wine glass and I gifted her with earrings and a clutch for the day of the wedding.

I got my parents wine glasses and beer mugs. And bought handkerchiefs to give to them the morning while we're getting ready
