Matron of Honor Gift

I think a rosary is a great idea. If she already had too many though maybe you could get her a customized rosary box or bag. It could be engraved with her name and a prayer. You could also consider getting a customized small travel jewlery box. They have a lot on etsy, although that wouldn't be religious.

Thank you, Grace! Great ideas! I especially like the idea of the customized rosary box with her name and an appropriate prayer, or perhaps a Bible quote - there are several that we both like. Thanks again!

How about a small statue of Mary. There are some beautiful ceramic or stone figurines that are nice for a small altar in the home. A trip to your local church gift store may bring up nice ideas as well.

Skip the jewelry. Pick something related to her personal interests that you would buy for her birthday.

Do you know what saint she chose for her confirmation name? Or is there a patron saint of some activity she likes? I got my husband-to-be a keyring of the patron saint for his career field that he keeps at his desk, and he seemed to really like that.

Is she the type who would enjoy a daily devotional book?

I do think a nice display case for her rosaries would be a nice gift too (assuming she doesn't have one already), and when you give it to her it could have a new one from you in it.

Good ideas, thanks! Both about the statue of Mary (her middle name is Marie, also her Mom's and daughter's name) and a trip to the local religious articles shop, we have a nice one nearby. Thanks!

Great ideas here, thanks! I don't know her Confirmation name (probably the only thing we don't know about eachother! She is a retired music teacher and our church music/choir director. And she's been organist for most of the parishes in the county for over 60 years! The patron saint of music is St. Cecelia - perhaps something about her. Devotional books she has in abundance; she's given me several and recently my husband gave her some he bought for both of us on a recent trip. A display case for the Rosaries, with my gift in it is something I did think about, perhaps engraved with her name/initials/and our ceremony date. Thank you!

OK, yes, thanks, I'll think about that too!

View Quoted Comment Hi, Grace! I did get a Rosary for my MOH - white cultured pearls (nice for our June wedding) and sterling silver, hand made. I'm getting a tiny sterling heart charm with her initial to be put on the Rosary. I also ordered a silver plate trinket box lined in blue velvet, and engraving on the top - her name, my name, "thanks for being my Matron of Honor". I also ordered a MOH porcelain ornament with her name, and the wedding date. I think she'll be pleased.
