These 15 Father of the Bride Gift Ideas Are Ridiculously Sentimental
Is that a tear in your eye, Dad?
By 
Dads are often the unsung heroes of weddings. They offer a shoulder to lean on when things get overwhelming, give great pep talks, and bring the moves to the dance floor. And for all the ways fathers contribute to their child's big day (and for, ya know, raising the bride), they deserve the world. Of course, when you can't give them the entire planet, a thoughtful, sentimental present is the next best thing.
Of course, while dads are really great, they can also be incredibly difficult to shop for. (Seriously, why do they seemingly have everything already?) So, when it comes to father of the bride gift ideas, you have to get a little creative. Opt for something personalized that's sure to shed a few tears. Or, go for a gift that he can actually wear to your wedding. (!) You can also use the occasion to present your dad (or your S.O.'s dad) with a cool gadget that'll always remind him of you. Though it may seem impossible to find gifts for dad that are both sweet and unique, it's definitely very doable.
To help you on your search for the ~perfect present~, you'll find 15 father of the bride gifts he'll definitely love, below. And if you're looking for a lil something for the mother of the bride, too, I've you covered. Your fam is gonna adore you (even more than they already do).
