I think its a great idea to get the mothers something they would really like instead of flowers, the decorations and garden things sound lovely. I'm wondering do all the mothers need to get the same thing? I'm thinking of including my grandmother and getting her something too, as she has helped most with the wedding. Can't think of anything suitable for her and 2 mothers, even flowers aren't great as my mother is allergic and hates them! Also she lives abroad so cant bring anything big/fragile home. Would silk flowers for her and real ones for granny and MIL work do you think?

For the MIL & FIL i have bought them a photo frame saying my sons wedding and they can out photos into it from the day and put it up with the other photos.

Love the idea of the charm. I have also bought the FIL, Groomsmen, best man and groom, Cufflinks from there football club...
