The Ultimate 10 Tips for Being the Parent of a Bride or Groom
I didn’t get a guidebook on how to be a mother-of-the-bride when my first daughter got married and, in retrospect, I made some rookie mistakes.Every child and wedding is different. But here are my big takeaways from my MOB duties.. After all, it’s THEIR wedding and not yours.Remain calm.
The last thing your kid needs is for you to be part of the stress ball. Attempt not to do anything embarassing or annoying. Yeah…that’s a pretty broad statement. The definition depends on your child. Be open to feedback and be respectful. Hold your tongue even when you’re dying to blurt out something that could be potentially volatile.. In my case, it was super-easy. I love, love, love my daughter’s in-laws.
, find dance partners early on in the evening. Even if you wind up in a circle with the bridesmaids or a random stranger, enjoy the tunes and rock on!You may not be assigned your dream job, but take on the tasks that will be most useful to the bride and groom.At the end of the day, you want your child to think, “Wow…mom was really a big help!” rather than “I wish I didn’t have to invite my own mother to the wedding. She was a pain in the butt.
