Conveying Gratitude: A Collection of Classic and Popular Gifts to Present to Parents During the Wedding Ceremony

[To My Cherished Parents] What Should We Gift Them?

A scene of presenting a bouquet or gift to the parents during the climax of the wedding reception＊

Giving a bouquet has been a classic choice for a long time, but recently, many couples also like to include a "memorable item" along with flowers as a keepsake.

Parents are our one-of-a-kind, invaluable figures who have raised us since birth. I want to give them something that will genuinely make them happy as an expression of gratitude.

For such brides, we introduce classic and popular gifts for parents.

Some may say, "I don't want something so typical!" but the fact that many brides choose these popular items proves that a lot of parents appreciate them＊

Please take a look for inspiration!

Gift 1 for Parents: Weight Rice

When it comes to gifts for parents, items like birth weight features of the bride and groom are a must...!

There are various options like stuffed bears made to the weight of the birth, but particularly popular is the "weight rice" filled with rice equal to the birth weight, because it can be consumed afterwards＊

Wrapping the rice in a towel, furoshiki, or pouch while displaying a photo from our baby days makes it attractive for preparing a handmade gift without the need to order from a store♩

➡ You can purchase from Rakuten＊

Gift 2 for Parents: Portrait Board

This portrait board for parents is also very popular!

Since it's rare to have a chance to get a professional artist to draw our portraits, it should be a delightful gift for parents＊

The family can have a great time saying, "Wow, Dad, the likeness is amazing!"♩

Gift 3 for Parents: Child-rearing Appreciation Certificate

The child-rearing appreciation certificate is a now classic gift that I recommend＊

The bride made a DIY design that included not only a certificate but also childhood photos and messages of gratitude.

An enriching and impressive child-rearing appreciation certificate is sure to become a treasured item for the parents♩

Gift 4 for Parents: Flower Box

A flower box filled with flowers is also a popular gift for parents＊

Especially for mothers and mothers-in-law, it often brings joy as it "brightens up the home!"♡

Including the number of days since birth or messages inside the box is a lovely idea♩

Gift 5 for Parents: Triple Clock

A triple clock, where each clock represents the "Groom's Family, Bride and Groom, and Bride's Family," is also a classic gift＊

It's a lovely item that shows the connection between the two families through marriage♩

It can become a new piece of decor in their home, making it a thoughtful gift for their careful living starting from your wedding♡

Gift 6 for Parents: Couple Chopsticks

If you want to give a practical and useful item, couple chopsticks are recommended＊

High-quality brand chopsticks are not something we usually buy for ourselves, and they can convey a wonderful message: "May you continue to enjoy delicious meals and stay healthy!"♩

Gift 7 for Parents: Shiseido Lip

This is a gift for mothers, but Shiseido's personalized lip, the Modern Matte Powder Lipstick, is also wonderful♡

It can be engraved with a name, giving it a unique touch, and its mature design is appealing, even for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s＊

It's a perfect gift for mothers who love fashion and makeup.

Gift 8 for Parents: Tsuresohi Amulet from Nogi Shrine

Finally, we introduce the Tsuresohi amulet from Nogi Shrine＊

The amulet designed with a white kimono and hakama is well-known, but this "Tsuresohi Amulet" carries a prayer for couples who have been married for years, wishing them to continue being together for a long time＊

It’s perfect as a "gift for parents" who have been married for many years, don’t you think?

I would love to present it cute in a photo frame!

Whether you think, "Practical items would be better!" or "Something that can be displayed would be nice?" consider the personalities of your parents and choose what will make them the happiest!

Adding a letter along with the gift would also be lovely♩
