I am getting married this weekend. My parents have put 9 months worth of time and money into this event (they are covering the reception, car rental, hair, makeup and my dress alterations). My fiance and I covered the chapel, DJ, and photographer payments. I want to give my parents a nice, thoughtful gift (I think I'm going for a really nice frame to put a wedding photo in but have a nice thank you note when I give it to them). However, his parents have done squat. They're showing up and that's about it. Hell, it took his mom until a couple months ago to say congrats about it (she heard about it in Feb). His mother is participating at the ceremony with the unity candle lighting, but she doesn't seem all that thrilled. So, am I obligated to give his folks a gift? I don't feel that I need to. Should I wait to give my folks a gift after the rehearsal dinner so it's not in front of his dad? (My fiance's mom is not attending the rehearsal dinner). Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
