Do you get the mother of the bride a gift?
While you don't have to get the mother of the bride a gift, it is a lovely gesture. Presenting gifts to mum at the wedding is an excellent way of showing the mother of the bride how grateful you are for everything she has done to help with wedding planning, be it financially, emotionally, or otherwise.
Who gives the mother of the bride a gift?
If you are the bride, it’s typical that you would give your mum a gift, but the partner of the bride can also give a present as a token of appreciation for their future mother-in-law. It’s likely that the mother of the bride will really appreciate receiving a gift from their daughter's other half and it can help build your relationship as you become part of their family.
What to get the mother of the bride as a gift?
A great gift idea for the mother of the bride might be something that highlights her special role – think engraved keepsakes, badges, embroidered clothing, and personalised prints. It's also a brilliant idea to give her something that she can use or wear on the wedding day such as fragrance, or a special piece of jewellery.
“Whatever you choose, mother of the bride gifts should always come from the heart,” adds Emily Williams, founder of The Boujee Bride. “Jewellery and perfume will always be front runners, and in many stores, you can now get fragrance bottles engraved. I also think art is a wonderful idea, and there are many artists on Etsy who now offer line drawings or paintings that can be personalised.
“‘Mother of the bride’ is an embroidery option on our robes, sweaters and more, and it's a popular choice," she adds. "It then becomes not just an item of clothing, but an item to cherish and remind them of their daughter's special day.”
Don't forget that practical items will also be appreciated if she’s not a fan of sentimental gifts. Consider a gift that she will really use, like a pampering product, or an item of clothing.
How much should you spend on a mother of the bride gift?
The amount you choose to spend really comes down to your budget – the most important thing is that you choose a meaningful gift. Our mother of the bride gift edit starts from as little as £10, but you should spend the amount you feel comfortable with.
Typically, a bride would spend around £25-£50 on a mother of the bride gift.
When to give the mother of the bride gift?
When to give the mother of the bride her gift will depend on what the gift is. If it’s an item that will help with the planning process or a gift she may wish to use in events prior to the big day, such as the hen do, it can be given weeks or days before the wedding.
A special and sentimental present could be given on the morning of the wedding when you have a quiet moment, otherwise you can give them sometime shortly after the wedding. This makes sense for gifts that are commemorative of the day itself, for example if they incorporate wedding photos.
