Give her something she'll wear on the morning and keep afterwards. A robe with "Mother of the Bride" on the back is the classic; a beautiful pyjama set is the one she'll actually use more.
For the wedding morning
- Kiralee Robe, about $150. A softer colour than the bridesmaids so she stands out in the photos.
- Sian Lace Robe, about $100, embroidered with "Mum" or "Mother of the Bride".
- Ultimate Luxe Robe, about $150, if she'd prefer something less bridal and more everyday.
For afterwards
- Vienna Stripe Cotton Pyjama, about $199. Crisp cotton, the set mums ask for by name.
- Caroline Cashmere Wool Cardigan, about $150. For over pyjamas, and everything else.
- Lady Daphne Slipper, about $130.
For the mother of the groom
Same gift, different colour. It's a small thing that avoids a big one.
What to write on it
"Mum" is the one that gets worn again. "Mother of the Bride" plus the date is the one that gets kept. If in doubt, put her name.

Quick answers
Does the mother of the bride wear a robe on the wedding morning?
If she's in the room while you get ready, yes, and she'll want one if everyone else has one.
What colour should the mums wear?
Something that isn't the bridesmaids' colour and isn't white. Champagne, dusty rose and navy all photograph well.
When should I give it to her?
The night before, so she has it in the morning. Or at the rehearsal dinner.
