Mom to the Rescue
A Mom’s Role in a Wedding is the most important role. She may do every part of the planning or she may take no part in the planning, but her being there is the support that is needed. As that time rolls around it is your responsibility to let your mom know what she can do to help. She will be by your side through the entire thing to make sure your big day is perfect.
Mom’s Role in a Wedding
Search out venues
The mother of the bride helps with finding the right venue for the big day. She may not always be on-site for it, but she is doing her research to find that perfect place. Calling around to get quotes or even asking family for recommendations but it is up to you how hands-on you’d like her to be involved.
A look everyone loves
If you are leaving your mom in charge of everything, it is best to set guidelines to follow. What this does is allow her to have the power to make decisions whether that’s a theme for the wedding, music, aesthetic, invitations, or anything along those lines, but to have a structure of how you want your wedding to be. This can get rid of some of the stress by having somebody else in charge and you just show up to your own wedding as happy as can be.
Person of contact
You and your partner are very busy with tasks so the mother of the bride can be helpful by serving as the main point of contact. This is great as it allows you to have peace of mind that things are getting taken care of while you tend to yourself before the big day.
Wedding dress expert
Depending on how close you are with your mom, have her help with anything related to the dress whether that’s when trying it on or if that is receiving updates on the ordered dress. Mothers tend to have an expert eye when it comes to fittings.
Attend or Plan Prewedding Events
Your mom has done a lot for you over the years so why not let her plan events for you! She knows what you like and doesn’t like, so allow her to take some stress off you and allow her to plan. This can be the bridal shower, engagement party, or even a first look. She wants to help make everything as easy as possible.
What to Pay For
If you are paying for your wedding, be upfront and honest about what you can afford. If it is the other way around, your mom should also be upfront with you on what she can afford. If the cost is being split, there needs to be a happy medium of how much everything will cost.
The Rock
Your mom is full of wisdom and advice and her biggest job throughout the process is to be there for you. Emotional support is the best support during this time so she is there to be your rock.
Request Advice
Don’t be afraid to ask your mom for advice. She wants to help you find that perfect dress. She wants to help you find that perfect venue. She wants to help you make that perfect day.
