Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

You're not going to be maintaining a friendship or regular contact with her parents so just let it be. It is a kind thought, but she could perceive it as you trying to remind her of you or similar.
You've had a polite break up and gone your separate ways so let that be the end.

 I agree with WiseOwlE
Generic store bought, no pictures, nothing too personal, would be JUST fine.

I wouldn't say its too bad if you got on with them well.
Just keep it basic and just include the parents names in the card

anonymus2012 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThe reason we broke up was because i practically proposed and she turned me down. She said she is not ready for marriage. We had a good break up and said our good byes with lots of i love you and i will miss you.

 To some extent it depends on why you broke up. If you cheated on her or otherwise did something the parents would rightly be offended by, then no. Otherwise I think it would be a classy move to let them know you appreciated them.
