Mother Responsibilities During Your Wedding

mother responsibilitiesThe mother /daughter relationship is unique and special. While weddings inspire a range of emotions, the planning process is an ideal opportunity for moms and their daughters to spend quality time together before the bride-to-be begins her new life. The road to the wedding may seem complicated and overwhelming, so it’s great to have Mom to help handle the details, provide feedback and ideas, and take some of the pressure off. Here are some of the more traditional roles that mom has played over the years; in some cases, they may be outdated – but they may make Mom happy.

Although many customs are victims of technology, mom may still want to post the traditional announcement to the newspapers – if for no other reason than nostalgia and to have a keepsake for her scrapbook.
Compiling a guest list can seem an impossible task, so allow Mom to strategize all the intricacies of the family invites. She can coordinate with the groom’s family, as well as help to explain those included – and not included – in the final list.

With the surge in technology tools, many couples have chosen to utilize online registrations, registries, and invitations. If you prefer a traditional paper invitation, Mom is the person expected to distribute the invitations and consolidate the responses.

From drawing up the seating chart; to taking the phone calls from entertainers and caterers; to conversing with the florists – your mother can be the go-to person for vendor correspondence and details.

Every mother looks forward to seeing her daughter walk down the aisle in a stunning wedding gown, and it all starts with the shopping trip. Mom will love being included in the selection process; if she is not local, consider utilizing video chat to preserve this special memory.

When it comes to your flowers and bouquets, Mom can assist in choosing gorgeous arrangements that will make a lasting impression. Flowers are an important part of any wedding day, and are present in virtually every aspect of the celebration, from the processional to the wedding cake. Once you have met with Schaaf Floral and decided on the color palette and types of flowers, Mom can assume the role of floral coordinator to ensure your venue is full of gorgeous floral arrangements. We look forward to meeting you – and your Mother – to help plan your Minneapolis wedding.
