It is not customary for the groom's mother to give a gift to the bride, but on some occasions the groom's mother may have a piece of jewelry, etc., that she may want her new daughter-in-law to have. The groom's mother and father give a wedding gift and it can either be money or a gift.
In the Past: The mother of the groom was the official hostess of the rehearsal dinner. Now: The bride and groom might ask both sets of parents to host this party together, since it's an equal mix of His and Her side of the family ... and to give the moms a great event of their own to plan together. In the Past: Moms were not allowed to host the bridal shower. It was considered terrible etiquette.
