Giving thank you gifts to parents of the bride and groom at rehearsal dinner
I don't know quite where to posts this but since the Reherasal dinner seems the appropriate venue for acknowledging everything our parents have done I'll try here.
My fiance and I are at a loss. We would like to do something to honor/thank our parents at the rehearsal dinner because they asked to pay for our wedding. They have everything they could ever want so we don't want to get them anything. Both sets live in rural areas (and aren't into spas etc.)so a gift certificate wouldn't get used. We were thought of giving a donation in their honor but we do that for Christmas.
I know some of the experts are parents and we're wondering what could we do? We really want to do something beyond just saying thank you. Thanks so much for any suggestions

I'm a parent and, personally, I wouldn't need/want any gift, other than seeing my children happy. If I know they appreciate my gift, that's all that matters. Perhaps a handwritten note on some beautiful stationery, maybe even read aloud to the parents at the dinner. Bring the economy box of Kleenex!

Darn, I was going to say that.
I couldn't agree more. When my children are happy, I am the happiest person in the world. I have to be tethered so as not to float away. And, when they publically thank me... oh boy. Hand over the tissues. I am one proud mom. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
