Gift for Mother for 3Rd Marriage

I like to frame the couple's wedding invitation and give it to them as a gift. If you're crafty, you can also incorporate some silk flowers and ribbon in a shadowbox frame with the invitation; I try to use the same flowers that the bride had or will have in her bouquet and match the ribbon to the color of her bridesmaid's dresses. My sister-in-law framed my invitation but included the jewelry (necklace and earrings) I wore that day rather than flowers. Please let me know if you'd like to see photos or hear more about how I put these things together. :)

When my father got married for the 4th time to my stepmonster(it's a messed up long story) and it was her 2nd marriage, I went to Things Remembered and found a really beautiful silver 5x7 picture frame and had their names and wedding date engraved. Then they could put what ever picture in it from the wedding that they wanted and it didn't cost me a fortune. I think that it was around $40 for engraving and all.

Give them some cash for Vegas in a card to take with them with a special message telling them to "WIN BIG!"

Then, get them some towels or something that usually needs to be replenished or re-newed (our towels usually wear OUT. That's why I suggested this). :o)

Have fun with it.

Blessings,

I was thinking about a beautiful photo album to keep all their new memories. I know Terra Traditions has beautiful baby photo albums, but maybe they have adult ones too? Good luck.

Get her Dr. Laura's book, "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands." It is an awesome book that will enrich her new marriage. Maybe she can pin point the issues that caused the other two marriages to fail and not make the same mistakes. Also, Jimmy Evans c.d. "Marriage on the Rock" is amazing as well. That is a great one for road trips. My husband and I attribute understanding each other so well to these two pieces of literature.

C.- I have two really great ideas- PLUSH- they are a company on Mamasource ###-###-#### well- she makes amazing! luxurious travel bags for women-
www.plushcreations.com-she may have mens stuff too- not sure.

I also think his/her massage at a great spa would be great! I have a ton I can think of------

One other idea- I have a host assistant business- For her reception when she comes home- if its in your home - we can take all the stress out of the party and tend to the food- clean up- make sure guests have drinks- get desserts out- so all the stuff that you mom or you would probably be doing during the party- So- its time to enjoy your own party for sure-We have a ton of referrals- we come uniformed, friendly and ready to serve! You will be thrilled- we do offer gift certificates as well-makes a great gift! Warning- you will be spoiled and will never want to have a party without us again! ha!
It's great that you are so happy for her-

Just my opinion, I would get a very nice card for both of them and wish them all the happiness in the world. I would imagine that after both have been married previously they probably have got everything they need and then some. I would offer to help with the reception, by making arrangements, ordering flowers or contribting to the cost of the reception. General rule of thumb for me is that if both of people getting married have been married before I don't buy gifts the second, third,time around . Just wish them well.

I am 45 and would be on my 3rd marriage if I was getting married! My son's/daughter-in-laws would probably ask me what I wanted. As they both have their own households, you are probably unsure what they need or want, and I think I would get a nice gift certificate to your mom's favorite store or cash, that way she can get what she needs and/or wants or they can together.

An engraved frame from things remembered might be a nice keepsake and they are reasonably priced.
