For every mother out there, the most precious day of her life has to be when her daughter gets married. It’s the day when she chooses to spend the rest of her life with another person and pays an official bid adieu to her family. It’s the day when she needs her mama the most. Here, we’ve shared different ways how mothers can help their daughters prepare for the BIG DAY.

Help Her Choose the Ring

Nothing could be more exciting for a bride than choosing the perfect wedding ring. Amidst a host of options available in the market, it can get tricky to find the best ring that is within your budget. For instance, if she is looking for a diamond cut design, you can get her handcrafted pieces which you can also customize as per your own taste. Or, if the groom is planning to gift her the ring, you can guide him about the same.

Support With Shopping

Traditionally, moms are expected to help their daughters with all the shopping stuff related to pre-ceremony. From what she is going to wear on the wedding day to what type of hairdo will suit her the best, there are a lot of aspects where a daughter needs her mama’s advice. Though she can pick her favorite design when it comes to picking the wedding gown, all she needs is your ‘nodding’ gesture to confirm.

Find Family Heirlooms

Typically, it’s the mother who uncovers all the religious or cultural traditions that you or your partner’s family wish to add to the ceremony. She will help you find the most precious family heirloom, which could be an old vintage necklace of your grandmother or the wedding dress of your mother. It helps the daughter take the family tradition and values with her for the rest of her life. This moment can be pretty emotional for both the bride and her mother.

Help With the Guest List

One of the major tasks of a wedding is to prepare a guest list while ensuring that you don’t miss out on any important person. Your daughter can have a tough time working on the guest list, especially when she’s a bit over-nice and thinks of inviting everyone she knows. A mother’s role comes in here, where she makes an economic decision of who and who not to invite.

Remind Her How ‘Loved’ She Is

Last but not least, amidst the hassle of prepping for the big day, don’t forget to constantly remind your daughter how precious she is in your life. After all, the last thing she would want on her wedding day is to feel lonely and left out. Showing these small yet special gestures fosters an emotional connection between you two and makes the moment even more memorable.

Final Thoughts

With the fear and anxiety that comes on the wedding day, everything a daughter can ask for is her mother to stand by her side. And remember, a mother might not always know the best, but she definitely has your best interests in mind. So, daughters shouldn’t hesitate to hug their moms, and for a little longer this time.
