Parents-of-the-Bride Gifts: Picture Frame

Whether they are footing the bill for your wedding or not, your parents still deserve a token of your appreciation -- for conceiving you, raising you, educating you and guiding you through your engagement. The gesture need not be grand, which is why we chose five gifts that cost $100 or less. But as they say, it's the thought that counts. Try to be organized so that you can give them your present on your wedding day. And if that doesn't happen, write them an old-fashioned letter (no e-mail allowed!) thanking them for their help with the wedding and making mention of the gift to come.

We've featured a new gift idea every day this week! Check out our other parent gift ideas here.

Special Moments Between Brides and Their Dads

Your parents will likely go through all of your wedding proofs to create their own keepsake album, but why not surprise them by framing one of your favorite photos? Better yet, opt for a double frame, such as this classic Vera Wang Love Knots design, available at Bed, Bath and Beyond, to place a baby or childhood photo on the left side and a bridal portrait on the right. They will no doubt be tickled to see how much their little girl has grown up ... and will likely argue over whether or not your father can take the frame to his office or if it will remain at home ($99.99, bedbathandbeyond.com)
