What are senior brides choosing as gifts for their parents? Let's take a look.

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ① Weight Bear

A Weight Bear is a teddy bear that represents the weight of the bride and groom when they were born.

Give it along with the sentiment of “I have grown this much since I was born. Thank you for everything.”◎

Surely, your father and mother will remember the moment they first held you.

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ② Weight Rice

Weight Rice, also known as “Weight Rice,” is the rice version of the Weight Bear.

Since rice can be eaten, it’s perfect for brides who think, “Maybe my parents wouldn’t be happy with a teddy bear...” or “I want to give something practical!” ◎

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ③ Triple Clock

The Triple Clock consists of three clocks (representing the groom's parents, the bride's parents, and the bride and groom).

As three clocks are made from the same piece of wood, it is a gift that symbolizes the bond between both families and the couple.

Recommended for brides who value the connection between both families ◎

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ④ Preserved Flowers

Many brides prepare a bouquet in addition to the gift, but preparing preserved flowers is another option.

Since they do not wilt, they allow for the memories of the wedding to last forever ◎

Designs featuring swags displayed on boards are particularly popular.

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ⑤ Travel Voucher

Many brides have given travel vouchers with the sentiment, “Thank you for raising me. Now, take your time to enjoy yourselves as a couple.”

While it may be more expensive than other gifts, the time spent together as a couple is priceless ♡

If your parents are coming from afar, choosing a travel voucher is also a good idea to avoid the hassle of shipping a large gift.

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ⑥ Parenting Appreciation Certificate

Giving a certificate of appreciation or a “completion of parenting” certificate as a token of gratitude is gradually becoming popular.

It can be DIY-ed, making it a cost-effective choice ◎

A design combining preserved flowers in a wooden box is also popular.

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ⑦ Olive Tree

Some brides give a small olive tree.

The language of the olive tree symbolizes 'peace' and 'tranquility'. It is also referred to as the “tree of couples” or the “tree that brings happiness.” ◎

I hope your parents will grow it and see the daily growth of your marriage alongside the olive tree.＊

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ⑧ Portrait

Presenting portraits of the parents and the bride and groom is also a lovely idea.

Since it's rare to have your own portrait done, it would likely come as a surprise and delight them ◎

While having just the couple's portraits is common, giving a portrait of the entire family is also a wonderful idea!

A “Gift for Your Parents” to Express Gratitude ⑨ Alcohol

If your parents enjoy alcohol, many brides choose to give them a nice bottle of it. A slightly more expensive bottle that they wouldn't typically buy would surely make them happy ♡

Gifting wine from the year they were born is also wonderful.
