My fiance and I keep going back and forth on what to give our parents as a thank you gift for everything they've put into this wedding and every option we look at feels like it could belong to literally any wedding on Pinterest. We were talking last week about how my mom always mentions this one specific memory from when I was a kid and it kind of clicked that maybe theres a way to turn that into something instead of buying another frame or photo album. Wondering if anyones actually gone the wedding song gift route for parents specifically and how it landed or if it read as more effort than it was worth.

I’m helping plan a bridal shower for my best friend. She’s quite traditional, and her mum cares a lot about these kinds of things. Most of the guests are in their 30s, but some are 60+ and live in different cities, so paper invites are a lot of work and money. Is it normal to send digital invites for a bridal shower now, or do people still expect paper? If you went with digital, did anyone have an issue with it? Or how can I create invites that look nice enough for more traditional guests?
