Your Wedding Day Is Not Just A Special Time For You, It’s Also A Big Deal For The Woman Who Raised You, So Show Your Mom Some Appreciation With These Thoughtful Gift Ideas
Your wedding day is not just a special time for you and your soon-to-be spouse. It’s also a big deal for the woman who raised you. Your mother has been there for you through thick and thin. And she has most likely lent a huge helping hand to ensure that everything goes smoothly for your celebration.
So, whether she helped with dress fittings, decorated the venue, or swooped in to save the day after a giant zit appeared on your face, don’t forget to show your appreciation to her for all that she’s done.
The happy couple usually gives a present to the bride’s mother together. It doesn’t matter how much the gift cost, as long as it’s meaningful. Either way, she will be sure to love it!
You can give her the gift before the wedding in front of the entire wedding party or in a more intimate setting, like during the morning of the wedding when you’re both getting glammed up together.
You could also wait until after the wedding when things are less hectic. Take Mom out to dinner and present the gift then. There’s really no wrong time–it just depends on what feels right for you.
So, what makes a good gift for the mother of the bride? Here’s a list of ideas to help you decide what to get her.
Jewelry
Jewelry is usually well-received. A pair of earrings, a customized necklace, or a knot bracelet commemorating the day you and your significant other tied the knot will be something she treasures for years to come. Depending on when you give it to her, she may even wear it on your special day.
Framed Photo

A framed wedding photo is one of the best gifts you can get for the mother of the bride. You’ll have to wait for the photographer to finish editing your pictures before you can deliver your present, but it’ll be worth it! She’ll be able to display it on her wall and relive the memory every day.
It’s up to you who the photo is of. It could be a scene of you and your partner standing at the altar or a captured moment of your mother/daughter duo.
Wedding Portrait
If you want to take it a step further, have an artist paint a portrait of you and your mom using a reference photo from your wedding day. It’s an extra special gift because it turns your wedding photos into something unique and unforgettable.
Engraved Tray Or Dish
A wooden tray or dish engraved with a short, sweet message offers your mom a place to store her jewelry, keys, and other trinkets. It’s useful, stylish, and sentimental.
New Kitchen Appliance
If your mother is all about function and practicality, consider buying her a new kitchen appliance like an air fryer, stand mixer, or coffee maker.
Not only will it make a great gift for your mom, but you also get to reap the benefits whenever you visit because mom will be sure to cook you a homemade meal!
Spa Outing
Before the wedding, take your mom out for a much-needed day of pampering at the spa. Let the stress of wedding planning melt away while indulging in the ultimate self-care experience.
It’ll also give you time to catch up and spend some quality time together.
All of these gifts can be paired with a thank you note to really emphasize how grateful you are for her!
