Rehearsal Dinner gifts--parents?

[appletini]

We have all of our bridal party gifts for the Rehearsal Dinner, but now its time to shift focus. What are/did you give for the parents gifts? Please post links if possible. Also what about the grandparents? Aunts & Uncles?

We have been trying to decide this one too. We thought about just waiting until after the wedding and giving them a nice album of wedding photos (like a mypublisher album). But then we wonder if that will seem rude or as though we have forgotten about them if we do not get them something during that time.

The ladies in the wedding got waffle-weave bath robes w/ their names embroidered on them from ebay. This went with the bridal shower "spa day" theme.

The guys got a set of engraved mugs. They were from ebay too, and we were able to get them a set of four instead of just one.

The readers got picture frames and I sent them pictures of themselves with us after the wedding to put in the frames.

Our parents got these amazing works of art: http://www.divadesignz.com/index.htm . I highly recommend them (brought my mom and MIL to tears, especially with the personal note we included on the back. They are pricey and take some time, but are totally worth it.

Good luck!

I was going to get my mom a big gift certificate at the spa we''re going to the day before the wedding. But she just told me yesterday that she wants to go with my step-dad to the horse track on that day. So...I dunno, something inscribed with the date of our wedding?? But what? Some nice jewelry?

We are getting both sets of parents the exact same photo storage box from Things Rembered http://tinyurl.com/jqaro so there is no competition between them on who got the better gifts. I am also getting the grandmas a nice picture frame with an engagement photo and a wedding photo after. Immediate family gets to take home a centerpiece after the wedding
