?Gift for bride?

Hi guys, I really just have a question.  My SIL is getting married in 2 months I am the MOH.  She is my husbands sister.  They lost their father last year and I would love to give her something in remembrance of him.  I just can't seem to come up with any good ideas.  I have a few ideas just nothing that I'm thinking definitely.

Have you talked to your husband (her brother)?  He might have good ideas for this as well.  You could do a little locket necklace and put a pic of their dad, or her and her dad together, and then she could wear it in the wedding and "have him with her," so to speak.

I would also caution against giving a super emotional gift the day of the wedding - not sure when you were going to give it to her, but I know I wouldn't want to open something really sentimental right before my wedding and start crying!  It is a very sweet idea, though.

I'm not thinking I'll give it to her right before.  My husband has a little something he's giving her since he's walking her down the aisle.  My FIL used to rebuild antique John deere tractors and I did just find her a pandora like tractor charm to add to her bracelet.  I was just trying to get some others ideas.  This day is goning to be so happy yet sad too.  I just want to give her a little something special from me.

I think the charm is a very nice idea.

Something that will make her happy, not something that will upset her even more that her father is not there.

Edit- it doesn't necessarily have to be about the father either.  Give her something special for her wedding day
