For brides-to-be who care about their parents, here are 5 recommended traditional gifts for parents besides bouquets♩

Gift 1＊Triple Watch

The most standard gift for parents is a triple watch＊ The watch symbolizes the wish of "let's continue to mark time together"♡

The triple watch typically features wooden clocks＊ Dividing one piece of wood into three represents the meaning of "from now on, we are one family"♡ Present the ends to the fathers of the bride and groom, and keep the center clock for ourselves♩

Illustrating connected triple watches is also lovely♡ It's a perfect illustration for a traditional wedding♩

Gift 2＊Handmade Pottery

For brides-to-be who want to hand over something made with their own hands filled with gratitude, handmade pottery is recommended＊ It's nice because they can use the pottery in their daily lives too♡

Bowls and teacups are ideal for handmade pottery＊ We should include the wedding date, our names, and our feelings of gratitude on them♩

If you make a handmade gift, let's wrap it beautifully to match the wedding＊ If placed in a clear box, it can also serve as a decoration♩

Gift 3＊Weight Bear

For brides-to-be who want to give a cute gift, a weight bear is recommended♩ A weight bear is a teddy bear that weighs the same as the bride and groom did at birth＊ They are sure to please the parents♡

It would be wonderful to embroider your name, date of birth, and height and weight at birth on the bear's feet♡

Let’s dress up the weight bear to match the wedding♡ It's very cute with ribbons and veils＊ It might also be adorable to dress them in matching outfits as the couple♩

Gift 4＊Wreath

If the mothers of the bride and groom love flowers, matching floral wreaths packed with blossoms are recommended＊ It's nice to think they can display them at home even after the wedding♩

The wreath conveys the sentiment of "the circle of a happy family"♩ Since marriage connects two families through a circle of fate, it would be great to give a wreath♡

A "THANK U" plate combined with the wreath is also lovely♩ Use flowers that the mothers love or seasonal flowers in the wreath♡

Gift 5＊Graduation Certificate

Reading a letter expressing gratitude to parents is a classic move＊ An increasing number of couples are holding a "parenting graduation ceremony" during that time♩ Let's hand over a handmade graduation certificate along with a bouquet♡

This graduation certificate contains the number of days from birth to the wedding, childhood photos, and expressions of gratitude for the parents＊ To ensure it can be displayed for a long time, let's frame it as a gift♩

Let's give a gift filled with gratitude to our parents♡

It's often hard to express gratitude in everyday life, but a wedding is a perfect opportunity to convey those feelings honestly＊ How about giving a gift filled with gratitude during the greeting to your parents?♡
