Traditional wedding roles for the Bride’s Mother

  • Arranges press announcements
  • Compiles the guest list in consultation with the groom’s family
  • Sends out invitations and keeps a note of replies
  • Looks after gift list and makes arrangements to display the presents
  • Makes a list of the guests for the ushers
  • In the absence of the bride’s father she may give the bride away
  • Attends the signing of the register
  • Unless bride and groom decide otherwise, acts as hostess on the day
  • Leaves the church on the arm of the groom’s father
  • The first in the receiving line
  • Sends cake to those unable to attend the wedding

But remember: these are only the traditional wedding roles! If you want to change them, go ahead!
