Memorable Gifts for Mom and Dad on Your Wedding Day
I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support of my mom and dad. Our mom and dads that have been there through it all for us I believe deserve some recognition on the big day. There are many traditions that go along with Weddings to do this, such as; having dad and sometimes mom walking us down the aisle, the father daughter dance, and the mother son dance. But beyond these great traditions it is always great when the bride and groom give something special to their parents, a gift that shows them just how much their care about and appreciate everything their parents have done for them. This can be a small gift that costs nothing. For instance, at a wedding I was at recently, the groom sang a song to both his parents that had meant a lot to him growing up. These kind of gestures can go a long way in just letting them know that you are thinking of them and that they are in your heart on this big day in your life. As Carrie Underwood`s song implies, many parents probably feel like their losing some part of their relationship with their son or daughter on this day and it`s important they know their not, this is just another step in your life that won`t change your special relationship with them. Here are some great ideas to let them know you`re thinking of them.

Weekend Getaway: Plan a weekend for just the two of them or you and your groom to getaway with them to one of your favorite places you may have vacationed to when you were little. Spending time together after the hustle and bustle of the wedding planning will mean a lot to them and will be a great time for you to share stories and pictures from the wedding.
Matching Jewelry for mom and you: This is a great way to remember the day and always have something that reminds you both of the bond you have with one another.

Music: If you are musically talented, why not play your parent`s favorite song on an instrument, or sing them a song that has meant a lot to your family over the years. Putting in music how you feel about them is a great way to show your appreciation for them on your wedding day.
DIY Ideas: Making your parents something from the heart will not only allow you to save money, but it will be a sentimental gift that allows you to be as creative and personal as you want.
