Thank you gifts for parents

[Augustwedding]

We have been lucky enough our parents have paid for our wedding and we want to get them a thank you.

I have got them lunch at the ritz but would like to get them a small individual present each.

Both mums don't wear a lot of makeup or have any stand out hobbies.

Dads like fishing, cycling abd both about to retire.

Budget about 30 each. Any ideas!?

Thank you!

We had two olive trees in pots either side of the altar, dressed with ribbons to match our colour scheme. They were given to the parents as gifts and are now planted in their respective gardens and are a lovely reminder of our wedding day.

We had personalised vases made for the mums

Oh that's a lovely idea

I spent forty quid each on my dad and stepdad. Got them both from Amazon at a discount. Normally sell for a bit more apparently. I expected them to be thankful, but they were SOOO impressed and grateful and both loved them. My mum and stepmom got vintage brooches and they were happy too, but they only cost about twenty each - again from Amazon.

Dads got watches I didn't type the word.

Get something personalised from not on the high st, they have some great quirky stuff

We bought two rose bushes/trees to go either side of the alter (outside) and gave then to the mums in place of bouquets. Cost 35 pounds for both of them and they are growing in their gardens still 3 years later. My MIL only commented on hers last week.
Last years not days.

Friend of mine got a memory book made for each couple.
It was like a small scrapbook full of photo's of the bride (for the bride's parents) and the groom (for his parents) from birth to the wedding day - milestone events - baby, christening, growing up, holidays, first day at school, favourite pet(s) graduation, engagement etc
