What could i buy my dad as a gift for on the day? We're not the closest, but he is the only parent i have. We have themed cufflinks for the groomsmen and all of the bridal/groom party have a personalised glass. However, i feel i should get him something more but have no idea what!

sounds awful but I dont believe we are doimg gifts for parents/bridemaid/best man
the day is quite expensive anyway, and we wouldnt be able to say thankyou enough but I think/hope theyd understand

How about a pocket watch? You can have it engraved ️

I got my dad a patch sewn into the back of the tie with a cute little message. Pretty cheap on Etsy.

I did photos from the wedding photographer after the fact, one it was one less expense before the day, two didn't have to remember to hand everything out, and way more personal then something that would be put in a cupboard x
