flowers are always great to give to them, or a spa gift gard
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.
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.
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.
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.
A luckenbooth brooch is a traditional gift.
A Ring???????????
Who are you ? The groom-presumptive ? The parents of the Groom-to- be ? Other relative or friend ? Please specify or I cannot answer your question appropiately .
Hopefully cash to pay for the wedding
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.
* You could give a wedding gift or, if you choose to give money you would give it to the Bride and Groom and not just the Bride. Generally money is given in the Wedding card, or, some Bride and Groom's have a 'Money Tree.' Give what you can afford and try not to second-guess what others are giving. Family generally will give more money than friends of the Bride and Groom.
There is no traditional bridal gift from a mother of the bride at the bridal shower. The mother of the bride could give her daughter: thick bath towels; fancy place mats with cloth napkins to match and napkin holders; fancy wine glasses with perhaps a bottle of white or red wine or both and on and on it goes. Generally as a wedding gift the bride and groom prefer money so they can either save the money or buy something they like with it.
If the father of the bride give the groom a large sum of money; a place in the father's business or land it is called a 'dowry.'
