- There is no traditional bridal gift from a mother of the bride at the bridal shower. The mother of the bride could give her daughter: thick bath towels; fancy place mats with cloth napkins to match and napkin holders; fancy wine glasses with perhaps a bottle of white or red wine or both and on and on it goes. Generally as a wedding gift the bride and groom prefer money so they can either save the money or buy something they like with it.
