Green Mother of the Groom Gift This one's a tear jerker
   

Mother of the Groom Gift
This one's a tear jerker

I am one of the fortunate ones...I have a fantastic mother-in-law. She is a great mom to Brian and a wonderful grandmother. She is respectful of our privacy, and I just can't seem to do any wrong in her eyes! :-)

I wanted to get her something that she could use on the wedding day and also keep forever. I came across this hanky idea and knew it was perfect.

It shows my appreciation to her for being such an awesome mom and raising such an incredible son, yet it also shows her how much I love and appreciate him.

There are a lot of places where you can buy this with the stitching already on there, but I think I will buy my own hanky and take it somewhere to have it embroidered....that way I have more say in the style.

What do you guys think???

***UPDATE:

Here are some links to purchase this hanky:

This is so cute!!! My mother-in-law is a dream also, I love her so much, she has been just like a mom to me for over 5 years now.  When we got engaged she said "I cannot wait to call you my daughter -in-law instead of sons girlfriend, because you are so much more!" SO sweet!!!! :)

I am crying.  This is so true.  It makes it even more personal because his dad left when he was little and his mom 99% raised him.  Thanks for posting this! (I'm borrowing it)

Fantastic idea.  Why not by a package online for a hanky and you can do the embroidery yourself?

I think this is an amazing idea.  My fiance and I are getting married this August and I would do anything to be able to do something like this.  We lost his mother a couple of years ago while he was starting law school and it was the hardest time we have ever endured as a couple (we have been dating for almost 6 years).  

This is extremely special, and she will absolutely love it.

I love this idea. I'm going to embroider hankies for the ladies my dude calls "Mom 1, 2 and 3" (his mom, my mom & my step-mom) because all three will be bailing their eyes out.
