Do moms really matter?

Mothers are very important at a wedding. They are second to be honored after the bride and the groom, they stand in as hosts and hostess and receive well wishes from guests - after all, it is their children that just got married.

The traditional seating of the mothers is an important aspect of the wedding. After the mother is seated, most wedding guests know what is to come after; it signifies the beginning of the processional - the beginning of the wedding.

Being able to greet the guests whether during the receiving line or at the door or mingling at the reception; all are important and honored positions that a mother has a right to at her child's wedding, so to answer the important question, "Do moms really matter?" Absolutely!

However, it is a little difficult for your mom to be honored when she is tending to the caterer, the DJ or the bar. If she is not enjoying the well wishes because she is running here and there or trying to track down a missing cake topper, then something is not quite right. To honor your mother, please make sure to have details taken care of so that she can enjoy the day - it is after all, her day as well- the day her daughter is getting married!
