All of us should consider our wedding to be an event for us to show our love and gratitude to our parents. The two of you wouldn't have met and have this wedding, without both of your parents. They deserve to be acknowledged especially now that you are leaving their nest. Of course, we still love them but a tangible gift is symbol of everything nice you have to say to your parents and to your partner's parents, too.
You don't have to get them something exquisite or expensive. As they say, it's the thought that counts. You and your partner can give individual gifts to each of your parents. You can give it during the wedding rehearsal dinner or at the wedding party. See to it that the gifts you give are of value because they are practical and you really chose it with all your heart.

Here are some tips that can help you decide on what to give to your parents:
1. Memories - Have your favorite childhood picture recopied and framed. Add your personal touch to it by adding texts on the photo. Use texts with a personal message such as "Thanks for bringing me to this world!" Pair your picture frame with your partner's own photo with the same concept but with a different text or message. Someday, your parents would look at your photos and compare it with your own kids.
2. His and Hers - Even when they have been living as one for many years already, they still deserve to have individual items yet will portray their lasting union. Give them each a bathrobe in your wedding motif color. If it is available in a mall, choose one with the stitched on HIS and HERS on each respective bathrobe. You can personally do the stitching if you can't find it in malls.
3. Play music together - This gift would come out of its rack when, someday, you and your brood will come to visit your parents. The old folks could listen to their music and you and your spouse could also listen to your own beat. Sensibly, have each of your parent's favorite music recorded in a DVD. You can also include you and your spouse's favorite music. Organize the music by alternating your parent's music with your music. During a gathering, everyone can hear his own favorite music as a family.
These practical wedding gifts will surely be of use to your parents. This is your way of showing them they are the best parents after all.
