What are you giving your parents?
Parent Gifts that are meaningful

I've been pondering lately what will be good gifts for our moms. We both love the idea of giving them digital picture frames. We would be able to not only upload wedding photos but also, engagement photos, baby pictures, us through the years. All the pictures are stored in one place.

A lot of the frames can be customized with a cover. Mom's can either have a slideshow of all the photos playing over and over or stop the slideshow at a particular picture and exchange photos as they like. I've seen them cost 100+

I think this is a great idea. I was going to give them gifts post-wedding, a really nicely framed picture of the wedding (the pictures with them in it). I might just change it to this though! I am not meeting with my vendors though and I didn't even ask if my photographer was digital.

I think it's a great idea! Unfortunately, we gave my Dad a digital frame last Christmas so we are giving my parents a wedding book that my photographer will make for us. Quite a few photographers make Wedding Storybooks for the couple, printed and bound as a real book and they look stunning. You can check them out on my photographer's page or on this website.

Wow...I must have missed these additions!  It's been a crazy week, but I swear it seems that I stop by your page faithfully, like you're the wonderful neighbor I never had!  Anyway, I just wanted to thank you soooo very much for your sweet comments re our photos!  YES...it was a big ordeal finally taking them, then when the time finally came, it was like everything went haywire!  But, it's all worth it.  What I really stopped by to say is that this is a GREAT idea!  I was planning on doing the photo story albums that we can have customized, but I already know that my dad will LOVE this!  Thanks for sharing! :)

You can get those on Ebay for less than 100(probably could get a discount if you bought more than one!)

That's an awesome idea! And digital picture frames have come down sooo much in price. You can also get desktop sized ones now for about $50. Instead of ordering the really expensive photo albums from our photographer, we are getting the rights to reproduce our photos, so I am making the photo albums myself through mypublisher.com. It's VERY reasonable for the nice printed albums with the book jacket, about $70 for a 20page album with the custom book jacket.
