Any ideas ......What I can have my MIL do in our wedding?

Question

My one MIL will sing at our wedding. I dont have anything for the other MIL to do. Any ideas??????

Thank you

Answer 1

I suppose if one is singing then it would be nice to at least offer the other one something to do, but first I'd raise this with her and ask if she wants to do something, she may be absolutely fine with doing nothing and just wants to enjoy the day.  However, if she would like to included then I'd perhaps ask her to do a reading, its always nice to have poems or psalms read out by the important members of the family.

Answer 2

The other MIL can make sure evrything is in place at the tables and seat guests.

Answer 3

my MIL didnt do anything.  they are there to enjoy the day.  at our wedding my husband and I presented our mothers with roses.  mothers also sometimes light the candles for the unity candle.  i have heard of some singing or reading scripture.  i would ask her if there is something special she would like to do.

Answer 4

You don't want one to feel left out. However if the one MIL is willing to sing that's great. Make sure the other MIL does not want to do anything special! If not well let her relax and enjoy the very special day!!

Congrats!

Answer 5

just a quick question...why od you have more than 1 MIL??  the only thing my MIL did at our wedding is light the taper candles with my mom for the unity candle.

Answer 6

She should enjoy the day and not have any responsibilities.

Answer 7

if you want her to be included how about doing a reading?

Answer 8

Have her light up the Unity candle ( the Mothers of the Bride and Groom usually light the candle)

Answer 9

You can simply ask her and if she wants to do something maybe she can give a short speech about love and marriage in a cute/funny way or a nice toast.

All the best :)

Answer 10

Let her be a guest.  There is nothing that said MIL must do this or do that.

Answer 11

There are so many things that are small enough for her to enjoy the wedding but large enough for her not to feel left out - take charge of place cards, do a reading in church, or collect gift envelopes from the guests

Answer 12

At our wedding, they had the 2 Mothers light candles, that we then went and used to light our unity candle.

Answer 13

I have never seen MIL's do anything other than be the MIL at a wedding.  I wouldn't give her a job; just let her enjoy the marriage ceremony!
