Sentimental wedding gift for SIL

7 replies

nobodyputsbabyinthecornor · 18/09/2019 13:08

Hi ! My SIL is getting married next month . She lost her mam quite suddenly 3 months ago and I know that she is going to miss her so much the day of her wedding . She is such a lovely person and I am blessed to have her as a SIL , she is like a best friend . I would love to be able to give her a gift that has something to do with her mam the morning of the wedding or the evening before . Anybody have any ideas ?

I've just bought my MIL a bouquet charm with her mum on it for her vow renewal. They're really cheap on etsy but they mean so much

Aww love that idea. Is it a picture is her mam?

It's a nice idea, but I would rethink giving it to her the morning of her wedding. A couple of days before might be a better idea.

Yes it's a picture of her mum from her wedding day, as she's not here for the renewal.
We're planning on giving it to her on Sunday, the night before the renewal. Don't want to mess her makeup!

I was going to suggest the same as @GreyMarble

That sounds lovely.
Maybe a picture of her as a baby with her mum??
Don't know why, but seems more sentimental to me.

Id also suggest giving it to her the day before too.

Something old, something new etc? Could you contact her Dad or a family member to see if there's a family tradition or keepsake?
My mil gave me a blue embroidered handkerchief handed down to her from her mother/grandmother to keep tucked inside my bodice in case of need on the day of my wedding.
