Creative and Thoughtful Gifts for Mother?

Destiny, on June 28, 2020 at 10:14 AM Posted in Planning 1 10
My parents have been beyond supportive during the wedding planning/ Covid process. When my job got temporarily furloughed, they took over paying for quite literally everything in the wedding so that we wouldn’t have to burn through our savings. My mum, especially, has been so calm and collected in making sure everything we need was ordered/ paid for/ contracts signed, right down to ordering the bridal party gifts.
I really want to get a special and sentimental gift to give to her on our wedding day, but I can’t think of any good ideas. For my father, I’m buying a copy of every album we would jam to in the car from when I was a child (Queen, Beach Boys, the Beatles- my dad loves the oldies) and writing him a letter. Does anybody have a creative idea maybe similar to this for my mum? I plan on writing her a letter, as well.

    I got my mom a necklace from Etsy. It has the quote about I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my mommy you’ll be. She used to read that book to me all the time as a child so it was sentimental.

    Do you have a shared hobby or favorite memory similar to being in the car with dad? Maybe a pretty set of baking pans/apron/oven mitts if you bake together, a hand tool set and good gloves if you gardened together, etc.

    I've seen a lot of things online as I've been searching for things for our wedding party...there were some items that said "today a bride, forever your daughter."


    Decide what specific sentiment you want to capture and maybe think about her favorite things to do and have that sentiment personalized on such an object, then write her a note, too.

    I think I'm going to get my parents a gift basket with something for them as a couple and something for each of them individually. I'm going to get my mom and me a matching jewelry set because that's something we've done since I was a little girl for special events, on vacations, etc. Then I'll write a letter, too.

    I was the mom.... Daughter and I are incredibly close, and her dad and I funded about 85% of the wedding -- which she and SIL appreciated so much. She and SIL gave each of us four parents small token gifts (customized cufflinks for the dads and individualized embroidered handkerchiefs -- mine was personalized with something I've said to daughter since she was a baby, so meaningful to me even though I never actually use a cloth handkerchief), but what truly meant the most to me was that both daughter and SIL wrote each of us handwritten, very personal letters thanking us and making it very clear what we mean to them. Both FOB and I cried when we read our letters, and mine are among my most treasured possessions.... Nothing could have been more important or meaningful to us. Good luck!

    My fiancee and I's parents have been very helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process, that we decided to give each couple a wedding album of our wedding ounce the photos were delivered.

    How about pampering her on the wedding day? Pay to get her hair and makeup done professionally if you are doing that with your bridal party. Another idea is have a “rose ceremony” in the wedding ceremony where the officiant can ask the moms to come up and announce the bride and groom wanted to particularly recognize the moms for x y and z. I found this crystal rose from Waterford that would be cool gift if you wanted something more long lasting than real roses.
