Parents' Roles In A Wedding
If you're a parent, your son or daughter's wedding day is the day that you've simultaniously dreaded and looked foward to ever since the day they were born. On one hand, you may be excited that your child is about to embark on a whole new life, on the other hand you may feel a sense of "losing" them to their new husband or wife and their family. Without a doubt, the next few months will be a busy, exciting, and emotional time for both you and the soon-to-be married couple, that's why we've created this special section on parental roles and what both parents and children should expect when planning a wedding.
MOTHER OF THE BRIDE DUTIES
The mother of the bride (MOB) is usually very involved with the wedding day plans. In fact, we've heard more than one story about a MOB trying to take over her daughter's wedding. Moms, it's important to remember that this is really your daughter's special day and although she'll probably appreciate your suggestions and help, you should try to remember that this (hopefully) will be her only chance to plan the wedding of her dreams. Brides, just remember that your mom only wants the best for you and since she's probably paying for some of the wedding, she does deserve some imput. That being said, we've made a list of some common duties MOB's take on.
-Helping the couple select a ceremony and reception site, plus picking vendors.
-Helping the bride pick out her wedding gown.
-Contribute to guest list planning. In many cases, the MOB is the one in charge of the guest list and will need to consult with the couple and the groom's family
