Your Mother is your best friend especially when it comes to wedding planning, providing you get on and she has a lot of time to help! She will be there to help you make all the important decisions, and give you advice and support when you hit a rocky patch.
The role of the mother of the bride can consist of the following tasks.
- Looking for potential wedding suppliers.
- Contributing to the wedding budget (if you want help from your parents).
- Putting together the family guest list.
- Shopping for the wedding dress and accessories.
- Shopping for her own outfit.
- Being there as a shoulder to cry on.
- Helping to write out and post wedding invitations.
- Help to keep track of the guest list.
- Traveling to the ceremony with the bridesmaids.
- Standing in the receiving line if there is one.
- Sitting at the top table with the bride and groom, at the reception.
Your Mother doesn’t have to do all these jobs, sit down with her and discuss which jobs you are both happy for her to do!
