It doesn't matter whether they're high school sweethearts, have already lived together for a while, or are an older couple who are getting married the second time around — getting married is a momentous occasion for every couple. Not only are they taking an important step in their relationship, but they're making two families into one. After all, the wedding day isn't just a milestone for the lovebirds, but it's a big day for their parents who are seeing their family expand because of the couple's marriage.
The mother of the groom is especially likely to be feeling lots of feelings about seeing her son walk down the aisle, which is why a mother-of-the-groom gift is so special. Even if she's not especially sentimental, a gift for the mother of the groom from her son or soon-to-be daughter-in-law on the wedding day is an extra special moment that many moms cherish. Whether she'd prefer a sentimental keepsake or a fun surprise that'll make her feel like one of the bridal party, a gift is a thoughtful way to make her feel extra special on the big day.
From a classic personalized robe that'll make for fun "getting ready" photos, to a luxurious Chanel glow stick that'll make her feel extra glamorous on the big day, there's no shortage of thoughtful gifts for the mother of the groom. Take a look below at 20 of our favorite gift ideas.
