WWYD re wedding party gifts

[Ryma8789]

Hi all,
more of a WWYD but we're trying to sort out wedding party gifts for the groomsmen etc and have settled on a token gift that's engraved. My ohs step father in included in the wedding party so I feel that he should have a gift, however as oh doesn't call him step dad we don't know what to write and it will look weird if we don't wrote anything. For example they look something like this:
P (persons initial)
Best man
05.10.14
any help would be appreciated :-)

*write not wrote

what DOES he call him? If everyone else is just having initial what's wrong with using his initial?

Put the same as everyone else

Do you mean P literally, OP? Or P as in Peter/Paul?

Depending on that I'd go for

P
Usher
Date

or

Peter
Usher
Date

Or is SD not performing a role so although you'd normally put J/John Father of the Bride you are having difficulty because you don't feel right in putting P/Peter StepDad when he's not normally called that title?

Or am I being thick and spectacularly missing the point (again)?

Do you mean he doesn't have an official title (eg Usher, Best Man, Father of the Bride) so you want to know what to put instead of 'Step Father' on the gift?

I'd put his full name and the date, so:
John
05/10/14

Don't bother with a title :)

Well I guess it's never come up before... he's his step dad but he's just called by his name. The others are all initial then role/relationship then date. He doesn't really have a role and we're not sure what to put for relationship as sd is not really used. Oh feels that if we leave it blank and he sees one of the others it will look bad.

Really not sure I get the issue either. You wouldn't write 'D' for Dad anyway.

Get him something different maybe?

If I'm being thick you are too Flisspaps!

Phew!

OP, if StepDad who doesn't get called StepDad is particularly special, as mine is, could you not go for a jokey title if he's not performing a specific duty? Like, oh, I don't know, Peter, Superman, Date?

Or a sentimental one like Peter, Always there for me, Date?

Thanks for the help, think we're going with initial and date :-)

I wouldn't put the role or relationship on any of them, I would do it

Name or Initial
Ryma/Hubby Wedding
Date

Then they would all be the same apart from the personalisation of their own name?

Is it the second line you're stuck on? It's a bit unclear from your post

So if you have
P (persons initial)
Best man
05.10.14

You need the wording for
P (not-Step-Dad's initial)
?????
05.10.14

Maybe
P
Father Figure
05.10.14

?
