STEPMUM DILEMA...Help!!!

Kita182, 29 April, 2015 at 12:58 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hi all,

So I'm getting married on 28th Aug 2015 and all is coming along well.

We have asked my step dad and one of our ushers to do a reading during the ceremony, but now I'm worried my step mum is going to feel neglected.

She is not the sort to want to do a reading so I wondered if there was any other way she could be included?

Any ideas anyone?

Help!

    Any chance of her being a witness?

    Does she really need a job?

    Mt brother and the OH sister are qwitnesses, so no chance of that.

    And yes, thinking about it it would be nice of her to be involved in someway.

    I want her to feel part of it, rather than just a guest.

    Does she do anything creative that can help towards any diy bits?

    Can she hand out the button holes if your having them? Or be showing everyone to there seats in the venue (brides side grooms side) or be in charge of getting everyone in places for photos?? X

    She could give out order of services or confetti, if you're providing these?

    I don't think you need to worry about finding her something to do. She has a role in greeting & welcoming the guests.

    Are you only concerned as your mum's husband has role and your worried that your dad might be offended or your step mum feeling like she's not important? This happened to a friend of mine but luckily her step mum admitted she didn't want to be the centre of attention couldn't think of anything worse so it was sorted that step mum sat on top table with her dad (untraditional but doesn't matter?) and to be there whilst she was getting ready to be involved with the girlies obvious wouldn't work with all family set ups but might this sort of thing be enough for her?

    Maybe give her one of the Bridesmaid tasks like looking after your engagement ring during the ceremony or as someone else suggested, making sure everyone has confetti. I wouldn't worry too much though!
