Hi all
I have two sets of mindees parents who are getting married this year! I was just wondering what sort of gift to buy, or just get the little ones to make something special?
Any ideas from anyone whose 'been there, done that'?

If you're invited to any part then a small gift, but if not just a card will do. (IMO!!!):)

mindee made something for the parents, as we were invited to the wedding we took a gift but had we not have been l would have sent a card. I was always told that if you are invited to the celebration and whether you could or could not attend you sent/gave a gift otherwise a card is was sufficient.
So glad this has come up as I have a set of parents who are getting married this year too! (Although I keep asking for dates as they have told me I might not be having the boys for 3 weeks and I still don't know when it is! Originally she said June but think that might be as near as she will let on?!)
