said and done. Michelle,

My fiancé and I will be making a "movie" highlighting memorable moments
throughout our lives (baby photos, teenage years, etc) We will use photographs and video
clippings. Towards the end of the video we will merge our lives together. I plan to
narrate the video and thank both of our parents for all the wonderful things they have
done as we have grown. We will show the movie on a big screen at the reception for all of
our guests to see how much we love and cherish our families. We have contacted a local
high school to get students to help us so we only have to pay a minimal fee.

Personal Note
A personally written note to each parent individually. It makes things very special
because it comes straight from the heart. ~ Katy, Alabama
Picture for Your Mom
For my mother I am giving her a beautiful picture
frame with two sections. In the left section, I put a B/W photo of me as a little girl in
a white dress on the beach. In the right section, will be my bridal portrait. If I know
her, she'll be moved to tears. Good thing I'm giving her an embroidered handkerchief as
well. ~Anna, Austin, Texas
Get a picture from her Wedding Day (Professional or Not)
and then frame it along with your Bridal Picture. A good place to get pictures of your
Mom's Wedding day is from your Grandparents!!! (And prepare for the tears) Include a note
that says I hope that my marriage is as wonderful and happy as yours. ~ Miranda, Brent, Alabama
Picture Frame for Dad
My gift to my father will be a double 5x7 frame with a picture of me
when I was a little girl on the left and a picture of me & him at the wedding on the
right. I will have engraved on the top left side "I will always be..."
then on the right side "your little girl".
Scrap Books
My fiancé and I are putting together little 4x6 scrapbooks for our moms. It will chronicle
from when we were born up to the present. Scrap booking is a favorite hobby of mine
and I know both our mom's will just love them. We'll even put little quotes or heartfelt
sayings, this is something I think they'll treasure forever!

Those little hardcover pocket books
for Moms, Dads, or grandparents found in bookstores. ~ Sue, Kentwood,
