How can I include my grandmothers into my wedding day and make them feel special?

Grandmothers are most of the time the foundation of the family but so many times get left behind when it come to weddings. All the ideas given by the other professionals are all excellent. It can already start by having them by your side helping you getting ready or even just be there for support. They might be able to just do a small task like helping you with your dress or putting on your vail , tying your shoes, this is a very good time to hand a very special gift over to them when it is quite and very emotional time, like a custom made gift that will remind her being involved with your big day.

You or the Groom can also include them specialy in the speeches, thanking them for playing such a large roll in your life.

 Orginise for a special thank you song to be played in their honour.

A place at the Bridal table , if possible will be the ultimate honour.

Just a few very basis ideas but very personal and special.

Hi there,

My daughter had both her grandmothers as honorary bridesmaids. They walked down the isle first with bubble guns. It was hilarious and they had a ball.

There are so many options to make those of importance feel special on your day, you can do a range of thoughtful things like: 

• flower corsage
• a handwritten letter
• small gift, for example - a poem stitched handkerchief 
• professional photos with them
• get them to say a speech, indicating how special they are to you

The options are endless.

Hello there! 

A great way to incorporate grandmothers into the wedding is including them into the bridal entrance. Whether it be at a church or anywhere else, having your grandmothers walk down the aisle first is a great sign of respect and a nice little inclusion of them. Alternatively, you could have them at the end of the aisle to give you a final blessing of a kiss or hug  before you reach your partner. 

Hope this helps! 

Warmest Regards,

Grandmothers, secretly they wish to be front & centre although they may never ask or admit it... 

Customise  their place setting at your Ceremony & Reception either with a small gift, photo of yourselves with them in a keepsake frame and let them be first to receive their meals. Many times at weddings I’ve seen the grand parents feel excluded or placed in a cool place with draft and they’ve left early due to discomfort. 

Good luck.
