Description
This mother of the groom verse plaque gives a bride the words to thank the woman who raised the person she loves. It is a neat rectangle of MDF in a soft off white, printed in grey with "the mother of the groom" in flowing handwritten script across the top. Beneath it runs a verse in a clear, easy-to-read type, speaking of a quiet, growing bond, of "the promise of new family ties" and of "the welcome, the wisdom, and the gentle grace" a bride has been given. A fine drawn line with a little tied bow sits at the foot. It measures 14.3cm tall, 7.9cm wide and 2cm deep.
We see it as a gift from a bride to her mother-in-law to be, given on the wedding morning, at the end of the day or in the quiet weeks before. It says what can be hard to put into words in a speech, and it gives her something to keep long after the flowers have faded. Being small, it sits happily on a dressing table, bedside table, mantelpiece, bookshelf or windowsill. For a groom's mum who treasures family keepsakes, it makes a thoughtful wedding gift that feels personal without needing anything added.
The plaque is made from MDF about 2cm thick, giving it a solid, chunky edge. On the back there is a black stand, so it can rest upright on a flat surface, and a small hanger near the top if she would rather hang it on the wall. The off white face suits most rooms. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and steam. We like to wrap it in tissue with a handwritten card from the bride, so the verse and her own words can be read together.
