Hopefully cash to pay for the wedding
No, the mother of the bride does not give the groom or his parents a gift, but just gives a gift to her daughter and new son-in-law.
the bride and the groom is first, then the bride and her father, and then the groom and his mother. After that the bride dance with her new dad and groom dance with his new mom.
I think that it is more usual for some friends of the bride or groom's parents to host a shower or some of the bride's girlfriends but it is not improper for the groom's mother to host one if she would like. If there are other showers being given, I would not do another one if I were the groom's mother. It is nice to have the groom's mother and the bride's mother just enjoy the showers as guests.
The mother of the bride will be the groom's Mother-in-Law or Future Mother-In-Law if the wedding has not occurred yet.
No, there is no reason that the groom's parents need give the bride an additional gift over and above the gift given to the bride and groom. Some mother-in-laws may have a special piece of jewelry they may want the bride to have, but that is the mother-in-laws choice.
flowers are always great to give to them, or a spa gift gard
No
It is not written in stone that a mother has to give her daughter a personal gift, but some mothers may have a lovely piece of jewelry that they have had or the piece was given to the mother by her mother and she may want to pass it onto her daughter. The mother and father of bride do give a wedding gift either the day of the wedding at home or, leave the wedding gift at the reception.
In Venezuela, the only attendants during the wedding ceremony are the bride and groom's parents. The mother of the bride can walk down the aisle herself or with the mother of the groom.
The father of the bride and groom can give the wedding gift to them the day of the wedding at home or, they can leave the gift on the gift table at the wedding reception. However, if it is of cash value it is better to give the bride and groom the money before the wedding.
The future bride and groom should have to make arrangements for the both of them to get together, like dinner or something like that.
No, it is not traditional for the mother of the bride to buy a nightgown and pajamas for the bride and groom. Sometimes the groom may wear just his underwear; just wear pajama bottoms or even be in the buff. The bride should pick out a nice negligee for her wedding night.
