Bridal shower

If they aren't hosting and haven't done anything to contribute to the shower, they don't need a hostess gift. You could do a nice bottle of wine or a gift card for your mom along with a hand written thank you note.

I got my mom flowers and a thank you card. She did so much and I was blown away. I decided to go extra special for her gift for the wedding.

I think flowers, wine, jewelry, or a gift card for a pedicure/spa day are nice mom gifts! Especially since she’s helped out so much! Think of what you know she would enjoy. Just a thought about your bridesmaid though, have you tried delegating specific tastes? I know some people do better with more direction of what needs to be done rather than just “help plan the shower.” Just a thought, and I apologize if it doesn’t help. Not entirely sure of the situation but it’s worth a shot. You can try “hey come over at this time to help set up decorations” or “were putting together favors this weekend, come over and help and my mom will have the wine ready” good luck!
