Question

that the mother of the bride has? See I am getting married in less than a year, and my mother is driving me crazy(but that's an everyday event). I need to find out what she is supposed to be doing for the wedding. What responsiblities should she have and why?

Answer 1

For my wedding, we didn&#039;t go traditional. Actually, I&#039;m not too sure traditionaly what the mother of the bride&#039;s responsibilities are. But my mother took care of all of the food and beverages with the catorer and she ordered all of the flowers. She was also such a doll and did all of the decoration plans and fine-tuned everything the day of the wedding. Gosh, I don&#039;t know what I would have done with out her.

Answer 2

My mom is throwing the engagement party, helping to dress shop, help find decorations, and she and my step father are paying for the dress and reception site. That the norm as far as I know!

Answer 3

Whatever you feel comfortable allowing her to do! If it is going to become more of a hassle for you to assign her things to get taken care of then don&#039;t)because the last thing you will need, esp as the wedding gets closer is more stress)! Just assure her it&#039;s all taken care of and you want to plan your wedding, because its your day. If she has things/strengths she is really good at and you would love to have her help, then ask her, if she is creative and coule help decorate the recption area, help address invites, etc! There isn&#039;t a specific list and the more you get into planning the wedding the more little things here and there you will find to assign or ask for help from the people you think would be best or most relaible at helping with! Good Luck!

Responsibilities of the mother of the bride:

First and foremost, be a warm listener, chief cheerleader, constant complimenter, and otherwise a source of support for your daughter.

Help the bride find the wedding dress of her dreams, as well as other wedding attire.

Help look for wedding and reception locations, particularly if the wedding is taking place in your home town and not theirs.

If you haven&#039;t already met, contact the groom&#039;s parents and arrange to meet.

Choose your mother-of-the-bride dress as soon as possible, then let the groom&#039;s mother know what you have picked. If possible, send her a swatch of the fabric and/or pictures so that she can look for a gown that will compliment yours.

Discuss the wedding budget with your daughter and her fiancé, including what you are willing to pay for, and the ideal total number of guests.

Quickly draw up the guest list for your side of the family, and later, close to the date of the wedding, call any of your guests who are late in RSVPing.

Reserve blocks of hotel rooms for your out-of-town guests, and possibly other guests as well.

Help spread the word about where the couple are registered.

Act as hostess at the wedding and reception, making sure guests are comfortable. This also includes standing in the receiving line, sitting at the parents table, and making sure the bride has greeted all her guests.

Attend the wedding shower and rehearsal dinner.

Possibly escort the bride down the aisle, and/or participate in other parts of the ceremony such as unity ceremonies.

Help your daughter will any other details she asks you

Answer 5

if you don&#039;t have a venue or vendors, have her call around. As the wedding day approaches there will be more to do, like picking up things. Ask her to go with you to pick out different elements for the big day, it will make her feel included.
