i probably already know what your answer will be but i will ask anyway...as parents of the bride, is not the giving and paying for the wedding a gift enough or am i expected to also buy a gift and not consider having paid for the wedding as a gift?
Gifts should never be expected nor are they mandatory. If you feel like the wedding IS your gift then send a card with a note saying "Hope the wedding was all you dreamed of" or something to that effect. If you'd like to give something additional like a keepsake of some sort then by all means do that. The gift doesn't have to cost a lot of money but could be something to remember the day. If you are crafty, make a fabric covered album for their wedding pictures or have their wedding invitation framed and preserved.
