Previously, I briefly explained the wedding party roles of the Matron of Honor, Best Man, Bridesmaids, Groomsmen/Ushers, and the Bride’s parents. This week I will dive into the basic roles of the Groom’s parents. Please keep in mind this is a very basic description of what each member of the wedding party is responsible for and can vary from wedding to wedding.
Groom’s Parents (Collectively)
· Helps prepare the guest list for the bride and her family
· Selects attire that compliments the Mother of the Bride
· Plans and pays for the rehearsal dinner
· Can witness the signing of the marriage license
Groom’s Mother
· Arranges accommodations for out-of-town guests
· Dance with the groom during the mother/son dance
· Selects attire that compliments the groom’s attire
· Offers a toast at the rehearsal dinner
This information is brief and should be used as a starting point on what to expect from the groom’s parents. Next week, I will go into greater detail of the Ushers' role.
