What is the etiquette for this? I want to get my mum and my partners mum a small present to say thanks for their help in planning the wedding. What can I get? Neither wears jewellary, flowers no good as one travelling from abroad.
Any ideas anyone please?

It will give you lots of ideas and I've used them before and they deliver really quickly.
A personalised gift would be a nice touch, how about a handbag mirror compact or small trinket box with a short message, including your names and wedding date?
I'm sure they would both like it, it's small to travel with and they will know that you gave some thought to gifts for them even though it's going to be your special day.

If you don't think that your mum and mum in law will like the "traditional" gifts, it is perfectly fine to buy them something "untraditional" that they would like. I bought presents for ALL the people in my bridal party (even the children) and I knew the children wouldnt like the same things as the adults, so I just bought them toys. Find out what your mums like and treat it as if you are buying them a birthday gift. Gift certificates to thier favorite store or restaurants are even acceptable.

A manicure the day before the wedding?
A book for the plane
a framed picture of the two of you.
music,
What they like, that is what matters.
Although, I gave the mothers and my bridal party matching necklaces that they could wear with their wedding attire.

Make them a scrapbook of the wedding
Jewerly is always nice
A gift card to a Spa close to their home.
A bath and body works gift basket
Or the really big gift a Grandchild (but that might be to early)

Don't know if they like trinkets but there are some very nice little ornaments out there which reflect what you are saying, I can't remember the name of the range but they are little figurines of all different styles and very simply but nice. They range from about £8 upwards and you should get them in any department store or specialist shop.

A gift card to their favorite store(s) or even a pre-paid day at the spa would probably be most appreciated.
Good luck!

A sterling silver picture frame with a picture of you and them or of the wedding party.

do not permit her rigidity you into doing something for her. i come across it ironic which you are the maid of honor in case you don't be responsive to her ok, and that i don't advise something against you it somewhat is her. i think of you may talk on your brother on my own and tell him which you have been doing a large form of questioning and regardless of the reality which you will possibly prefer to be aside of the marriage you do not sense gentle or outstanding being the maid of honor and prefer to step down and do exactly it, step down. The maid of honor could be somebody who loves and knows the bride, you do not. seem you're dammed in case you do dammed in case you do not by using the sound of it, with this lady. you're growing to be to be a valid element, not understanding her, in case you do away with your self from the MOH place and that i don't think of you're doing something incorrect or something to ask for forgiveness for. in case you proceed on simply by fact the MOH, in my opinion, i think of it is misguided. in case you poultry out and proceed to be MOH, i might do the bathe the way you prefer simply by fact it is going to mirror on you. the only element the bride could furnish is her customer record and something is as much as whomever is throwing the bathe and procuring it and you'd be able to desire to make that clean to her if not tell her to is extremely not waiting to throw the bathe for her. get up for your self, she is getting married it somewhat is not a nationwide trip.
