Weddings

The importance of providing an accurate and timely guest list and sticking to the guidelines for the number of guests you may invite can not be emphasized enough. Did you know that reservations for out-of-town guests, invited by the groom's family, are the responsibility of the mother of the groom? It will be much more convenient if a block of rooms are reserved at a nearby hotel.

Often the mother of the groom isn’t exactly sure what’s to be done in her role in the marriage of her son. Let me share that the first thing, upon receiving the news, is to initiate contact between the families. This can be a phone call, an invitation to dinner at your home, or meeting for dinner at a nice restaurant. If the families don’t live near each other, a letter is appropriate.
