There's nothing better than a tight relationship between a bride-to-be and her mother. But is it appropriate for the mother-of-the-bride to double as maid of honor? Brides' wedding etiquette experts answer.
Can my mom be my maid of honor?
Of course she can. Just be aware that as the official hostess of your wedding, Mom may be too busy to handle all of the maid of honor duties. Appoint a bridesmaid to take charge of some of the traditional tasks, like organizing the bachelorette party—a job that your mother probably wouldn't mind delegating anyway.
