Tips on Dressing the Mother of the Bride/Groom |
|
|
Since we get
a lot of emails from both the mother of the bride and the mother
of the groom, we've decided to write an article on tips for
selecting their dresses. After all, this is a big day for them
too! |
|
- Once
the bride and her bridesmaids have selected their dresses,
both the mothers can start their own dress shopping. (They
should start their shopping as early as possible.)
- Their
style of dress will depend upon the formality of the wedding.
What do the bride's and the bridesmaids' dresses look like?
- Ask
the bride what style she would like to see you in. Search
through magazines and show her styles that you would prefer and
get her input.
-
When
choosing a color of dress, the mothers should not choose
black, white, ivory or cream. Try on different colors to see
what looks best. You do not have to choose the same color
dress as the bridesmaids'.
-
They
should choose a dress that compliments their figure and that
they will feel most comfortable in.
-
Traditionally, the mother of the bride would select her dress
first. Then she would let the mother of the groom know what
the dress looked like. This way the mother of the groom could
select a similar style. Of course, nowadays, the mothers do
not have to dress alike. What one mother may be comfortable
in, may not be comfortable for the other.

Preserving Your Memories |
|
|
Your wedding day
will be one of the most memorable days of your life! You'll want to
capture every moment on film so you'll be able to enjoy those
precious moments in years to come. Here are a few helpful tips and
suggestions for storing your wedding photographs and videos: |
|
- Make sure
that you store your photos and videotapes away from direct
sunlight. This storage space should also maintain a moderate
temperature with low humidity.
-
Be sure to
remove the clip located on the back of your videotape. This will
prevent you from taping over it by mistake.
-
Store a
duplicate videotape and your photo negatives in a fireproof box
made especially for them.
-
Store your
videotapes upright and in a case. Also be sure to keep them away
from any electronic equipment.

| Frequently Asked Question |
|
|
|
| Q: |
Do we need
to have a receiving line? |
|
| A: |
If you are
having more than 50 guests at your wedding, it's a good idea to
have a receiving line. This way each of your guests will be able
to hug and congratulate the both of you. You may also get to meet
guests that you do not know (relatives, friends or co-workers from
your fiancé/fiancée's side). Once the reception begins, you may
not have the time to meet and greet all your guests. |
