Being the mother of the bride or groom on their wedding day should be one of the happiest days of your life...so how do you get to that day whilst staying friends with them?
1. Have a preliminary discussion as to what their expectations are...they should not be your expectations.
2. Help to set a realistic budget, money is important, decide on who is paying for what.
3. If the couple both have busy lives and don't let them underestimate the amount of time that goes into planning a dream wedding, suggest they choose a professional wedding planner..The Pink Flamingo Wedding Company!
5. Collect ideas and suggestions, but if they don't like them accept that their decisions are final.
6. Keep in touch and always be ready to listen,but don't get consumed by wedding talk!
7. Pick your battles wisely...at the end of the day you still want to have the relationship you had before the wedding.
8. Get to know the other family.
9. Let the mother of the bride choose the colour of her
dress first.
10. Don't try and outdo the other mother...the mother-in-law will be around for a long time!
