Thank you, Mom!

Planning and having a wedding takes a lot of work, and that requires a tight-knit support system to make everything go smoothly. One essential person to count on is your mom, first and foremost to provide emotional support throughout the entire process. In addition, she’ll have a lot of responsibilities, including helping with shopping and vendors, adding input to the ceremony and related gatherings, being the point-of-contact, and hostessing. Show your mom how much you appreciate her and all of her help with any of these special gifts.

Your mom will appreciate a sweet, short message engraved on this compact. It comes in rose gold, yellow gold, and stainless steel finishes. Every time she reaches for it she’ll have tender memories of your wedding and a reminder of how much you love her.

Engraved Wine Glasses

Weddings are typically occasions where a lot of wine or champagne is served, and why not serve your mom in a glass especially for her? This would be great to gift during an intimate meet-the-parents dinner, and we like that you can customize it with different family members, including stepparents.
