What Should the Mothers of the Bride and Groom Do?

With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, it’s a great time to think about what your mom can do to help with your wedding. Both the mother of the bride and mother of the groom can play an important role in the planning and on the day of your wedding.

For many brides, their mothers are an unofficial member of the bridal party. She can help with choosing the wedding dress, attend the bridal shower, and assist with wedding preparations. If you mom isn’t able to do all of that, or if you don’t want her to do it, she can still have a special part in the wedding day. The bride’s mother is traditionally the last one to be seated at the ceremony, and her being escorted to her seat marks the start of the procession.

The mother of the groom also has a special role to play. Depending on the bride’s relationship with her new mother-in-law, she might even take part in activities along with the mother of the bride. She will also get to have a special dance with her son during the reception. This gives her a moment in the spotlight for all the work she’s done in raising the groom.

Mothers can be a huge help in your wedding planning, and can be thanked for their years of hard work at your wedding. To find out more about how to involve the mothers of the bride and groom in your Arizona wedding, give us a call today!
