WELCOME TO THE FAMILY

gift ideas to & from the parents of the bride & groom

WHAT IS THE HISTORY?

Researchers say two of the three key moments in people's lives are the day they get married and the birth of their first child. Weddings are also a pivotal moment in the lives of parents. They are, by nature, full of joyous celebration - bringing loved ones together for the outward expression of the commitment between two people.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTATION? WHAT IS THE GOAL?

While some modern couples steer away from traditions of days past, it is still customary (and appropriate) for couples to exchange gifts in honor of this special day. Unlike standard holidays, gift giving that surrounds a wedding is meant to incorporate elements of sentimentality and care.
