Sooner or later (more often late) the bride wonders what to give her parents at the wedding . When there is very little time left until the wedding, but there are more and more details that need to be figured out and resolved, the strength and imagination to come up with something original is usually not enough anymore. Therefore, we offer very interesting gift ideas that each couple will be able to personalize, and they will be unique just for your parents . But first, let's get clear on what not to give.

Say “no” to banal gifts

Tea sets, cosmetic sets, gift cards, a bottle of wine - you can give it all on a birthday, Christmas or Mother's Day. Of course, if the parents have wanted one of these gifts all their life, they will most likely be happy, but these gifts have no added value. What is the added value?

In childhood, the best gift for mom was the one made with your own hands. Parents do not care about the price of the gift. It was important for the parents that the child had thought about them, had tried and invested his time to create this gift. Nothing has changed since then. Your attention is important to parents. Think about what valuable (not expensive in terms of money) you could give your parents. Let's face it - the most precious thing we all have are MEMORIES.

Some ideas to give parents memories:

Video with childhood pictures of the bride and groom. Find your childhood photos. It will be very good if parents are also in these pictures. Create a slideshow with a memorable song in the background, such as your parents' first wedding dance song or a song that was played often in your childhood.

Activity "What is hidden in the picture"

Childhood pictures of the bride and groom are used during the activity, in which some object is hidden. Guests are invited to guess what is hidden in this picture. If the guests cannot guess, then the name is given to the parents, they will definitely know the correct answer. For example, the picture shows a bride holding something in her hands. Guests remember that they have ice cream in their hands. And after reminiscing, the bride can thank her parents for the fact that in the summer they often walked in the park and ate ice cream together.

Photo album

If you know that your parents do not print pictures, then it will be very valuable to create a photo album or a photo book with your pictures. One album can include pictures from the childhood of the bride and groom, as well as from recent times. If the wedding is small, only in the circle of the closest people, then viewing these pictures can also become a kind of activity when all the guests look at these pictures together, and you or parents comment on how they remember the moment when the picture was taken.

Wedding picture in a frame

A gift that has a more complicated execution, but is very beautiful and unexpected. If the wedding takes place in the city or near the city and it is possible to find a photo salon where you can quickly print photos, then on the wedding day you can print a wedding photo with your parents and give it to them. You will need to take a picture with your parents after the ceremony (a separate picture with the parents of the bride and groom). Talk in advance with the photographer that at some point he will be able to select beautiful pictures and send them to the photo salon. Agree with the photo salon in advance that you will send the pictures and they will need to be printed urgently. Pictures should be at least A4 in size, but the bigger the better. Someone will have to go after the pictures and put them in pre-prepared frames before presenting the pictures.

Letter to parents

If you don't want to say something personal to your parents in front of guests, you can write them a letter and express in it everything that you might be shy to say in life. Remember what you are grateful to your parents for, how they have helped, in what moments they have supported you the most. Promise them that when you start your own family, you won't forget them and love them just as much. The letter can be a separate gift, but can be an addition to, for example, a wedding photo or a photo book .
