  • There are obviously reasons you appreciate her financing your happy occasion. I'd guess that although some of these reasons may be pretty "obvious" there is also something more to it than that. Honesty is usually the best policy regarding family. Look at it this way: if you are part of a family, spend a lot of time with each other, then things do not remain hidden for long. Furthermore, honesty usually is appreciated more than iconic representation or greeting cards. Look at it this way: Would you prefer your husband-to-be to tell you he loved you with a box of chocolate, a greeting card "I love you", or by telling you directly how much and why he loves you and always will love you? Don't know if that helps but congratulations.
  • A heartfelt acknowledgment at the reception is the obvious way; Quite often the bride has something to say these days during the speeches - as you are close to your fiancee's family I think a sincere acknowledgment from you to your new in-laws would be charming and quite appropriate.
  • If her name is pretty enough, give your firstborn her name as your child's middle name.
  • I think saying something heartfelt during the speech giving part would be a lovely thank you. You can also write them a little letter, expressing your feelings, they raised a wonderful son, welcomed you into the family with much love...etc. If you can afford it, maybe take Mom out to either a very nice Tea house for lunch...some place that's very foo foo, or to a place that offers something you KNOW is her favorite food. Mother's day and Father's day will give you more opportunities to express your love for these kind people. CONGRATULATIONS you didn't just gain a nice husband, you got a family! Have a wonderful Wedding Day!
  • treat her boy with respect and a spa package never hurts
