Mother of bride gift

Josie, on June 13, 2022 at 1:06 PM Posted in Planning 6 6
I’ve had a tumultuous relationship with my mom my whole life and while things are mostly good right now with the boundaries in place. She won’t be coming to the wedding because of health issues. What if anything should I do as a gift for her?

    Is she financially contributing to the wedding or helping out with the planning? Usually parent gifts are meant for the above 2 reasons. If neither is happening, and you don’t have a comfortable relationship with her currently, definitely don’t feel like you’re obligated to give a gift.

    I think getting her a wedding album would be a really great gift in this scenario. She can see all the pictures from the day and have a keepsake item to have around her home. We're planning to do that for both sets of parents as well (in part because I'm running out of gift ideas/ budget space for all the gifts for everyone lol), and I'm planning to write a note to each parent to read on the wedding day.

    Not really no, more like just listens to my opinions. Thank you, I was feeling guilty for getting a gift for my father and not her

    I agree with Paige, maybe a nice photo album. That way you’re not going out your way to give her a gift. Especially if she isn’t attending the wedding on financially contributing.
