I probably don't need to tell you this, but moms are seriously iconic—especially when it comes to all the behind-the-scenes work they do for their child's wedding. Your mom (or the mom of your spouse) has likely helped out with so many different aspects of your big day. Maybe she put together the seating chart to seamlessly avoid any family drama. Or perhaps she's been your emotional support system when wedding planning got stressful. Whatever the sitch, the mother of the bride definitely deserves a big thank you. And what better way to do that than with a heartfelt prezzie?

Go ahead and treat your mom to something luxurious (like a bougie, relaxing gift set) or something that's personalized just for her (like a custom necklace) and watch her eyes well up with the happiest of tears. Sure, it may be your wedding day, but expressing your appreciation for your mom through a sweet and thoughtful gift will show her just how much she's meant to you all these years. Plus, if she's helped a ton with planning your nuptials, she's likely in need of a little pick-me-up!

Before adding shopping for a M.O.B. gift as yet another task to your pre-wedding to-do list, though, peep the gorgeous selection of mother of the bride gift ideas we've got rounded up for you. From self-care moments to pretty accessories, there's a little something for every deserving mom, below.
