7 Ways To Make Your Mom Feel Special On Your Big Day
The chances of us getting to experience our ‘big day’ would have been quite bleak if it weren’t for our mother shouldering the responsibility of giving birth and organizing our dream wedding. It is no hidden secret that your mom has been dreaming about your wedding since the day she saw you for the first time. She’s more nervous and excited for your big day than you’ll ever be.
From handling guests who never stop partying, to ensuring your outfit is crease-free, mothers go above and beyond for us and expect nothing but love in return.
Thus, to honor her lifelong efforts, especially during your bridezilla moments, little tokens of gratitude are essential.
Here are seven epic ideas that you can execute at your wedding –
1 Plan A Special Moment With Her
You may miss spending time with your mom among all the wedding chaos. To make up for the lost time, you can inculcate special moments with her at the wedding. You can organize a unique mother-daughter dance to a song you both love. Later, invite all the mother-daughter duos on the stage for a memorable dance session.
Another heartfelt moment you can create is by asking her to walk you down the aisle. Tweak the traditions a bit and experience a heartwarming moment with your mom by your side on the aisle.
You must have heard about ‘first looks’ with the partner. Make that even more interesting by capturing the reaction of your mom when she looks at her stunning daughter, in a wedding dress, for the first time! chills
2 Write A Heartfelt Letter
One of the best ways of thanking your mother is by expressing it in words. Write a heartfelt letter or note and address it to her, expressing gratitude for all the things she did for you, for your wedding, and for your future. You can get this note embroidered on a handkerchief and place it on her table.
You can also read this letter out loud as a toast for the world to know about the contributions and sacrifices she’s made for you. End it with a tight hug!
3 Wear Something From Her Wedding Day
Who does not want their mom always close to them? For a sweet and loving gesture, you can include a piece of jewelry, clothing, or even a handkerchief from your mother’s wedding day and make her feel extremely happy and special. This will become a momentous ‘something borrowed’ for your wedding.
4 Create A Memorable Montage
Reminiscing the old times and getting all sentimental is a mother’s favorite activity. Gather all the photographs you have with her, right from your childhood to your adulthood.
Either display these photographs as a slideshow and place it at a spot where everyone can view them or create a video out of all photographs and screen it to the audience, for them to acknowledge the ginormous impact she has on your happiness.
5 Make Her Feel Included Throughout
There are a lot of ways to include your mother in the smallest of wedding rituals. Start by involving her in the entire wedding planning process. Hear all her ideas and utilize her crafty DIYs for a magical wedding.
Mothers have a lot of traditions of their own that, when embraced by you, give them joy. Incorporate all her traditions in your wedding celebrations. Next, ask her to get you ready for your big day. There’s nothing more beautiful than a mother dolling up her daughter.
Remember to have a hearty photoshoot with your forever wingwoman, where you are your goofy selves. These photos will become priceless treasures forever.
Moreover, ensure that she feels and looks fabulous on your wedding day. After all, she is the mother of the bride. From transportation to lodging, everything should be grand for her.
6 Have A Mother-Daughter Date Before Your Wedding
The friendship you share with your mother is the greatest of all. To cherish this friendship, plan a fun sleepover with her. It is a perfect way to give her a relaxing night and relive the memories together. Your favorite snacks and a good movie will be the icing on the cake!
Another date idea could be a fun spa day. Rejuvenate and recharge from the wedding hustle with a spa appointment for both of you, after the big day. Even a simple dinner takeout with you would be a delight for your mother.
7 Plan a Meaningful Gift For Her
Though she deserves the world, you can arrange a small, sincere gift for your mother. It can be something personalized, something that commemorates your relationship with her, or an exquisite piece of jewelry.
You can even gift her a MOB (mother of the bride) gown to flaunt throughout the wedding. The gift should make her feel loved and special.
Wrapping Up
It takes tiny efforts to thank your mother and give her due credit for all the hard work, compassion, and love she has showered you all these years and will continue to do so in the eternity to follow. These small gestures on your big day will leave a surreal impact on her heart forever.
