Handkerchief

• Give the mother of the groom a personalized handkerchief. This gift reflects the tears of joy that most mothers of the groom experience on the day their son is married. Lace and appliqued hankies are available. Consider having a meaningful poem, personal message, "Mother of the Groom," the wedding date or her name stitched on the handkerchief.
  
  

Framed Photo

• Give the mother of the groom a framed wedding photo. Wait until your wedding photos are available and frame a photo of the bride and groom, or a photo of the mother of the groom with the newlyweds or other family members. Another option could be a photo of the groom and his mother during the mother-son dance. Use a silver, gold, wooden or crystal frame. The frame can be engraved with a personal message or the wedding date.
  
  

Framed Poem

• Present the mother of the groom with a framed poem. This poem can be an original one written by the bride or groom or a famous poem. For either type of poem, a personalized poem with a wedding or mother theme works best. Purchase a picture frame and put a copy of the poem in it or buy a frame that comes with a mother-of-the-groom poem already in it.
  
  

Apparel

• Give the mother of the groom stylish apparel. Select a personalized shirt or hat for her to wear and get recognized in. Get the apparel made in a color that ties in with the wedding colors. Have "Mother of the Groom" printed, stitched, appliqued or written in rhinestones on the shirt or hat. This keepsake can be worn in the days leading up to the wedding or on the morning of the wedding while the mother is getting ready for the big day.
