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.
Per general etiquette, the mother of the bride buys her wedding day outfit first, then notifies the mother of the groom about the color, length and overall formality of her choice. But if the groom's mom doesn't get word by the four-month mark, she should touch base with the bride-to-be about what to do.
