    The Tradition of the Morning Gift

    Today, the morning gift primarily holds a romantic significance. In the past, however, it was a legally required provision rather than a mere present. The groom would give the gift to the bride on the morning after the wedding night. It served as a form of financial security or pension for the bride in case the groom passed away before her and as compensation for the bride’s dowry. The morning gift remained the groom’s property until his death and could only be claimed if the bride became a widow. If the bride passed away first, the gift would be inherited by their children, or if they were childless, it remained with the groom.

    Morning Gift Inspiration

    Choosing a morning gift requires thoughtfulness and consideration. It holds a symbolic meaning, marking the beginning of a new chapter in life. The gift should be personal and serve as a lasting memory of the wedding day and the vows exchanged. Traditionally, the bride received the morning gift, but today, it is common for the bride to also give one to the groom. The gift is often a piece of jewelry but can also be a trip or another romantic gesture.
