NO the mother will only be a bridesmaid not a maid/matron of honor. Thats is why I think it is werid! I thought she would enjoy being the mother of the bride!!! LOL

I personally dont like the idea. As a 'Mother of the Bride', she has much more responsibilties to do.

I've heard of people having their mom as the maid/matron of honor. My cousin used his father as his best man, so what's the problem with a bride using her mom? If the mother was just going to be a regular bridesmaid though, I think she would prefer just moter of the bride because it's more "special".

I've known people to have their mother as their maid of honor (well, Matron of Honor)... which is actually a great idea. But no, I've never heard of a mother being a bridesmaid. But to each their own. It is her wedding so she can really decide anything on her own despite tradition.

Hi. No, I have NEVER heard of that nor have I ever been to a wedding where the mother of the bride was also a bridesmaid.
I HAVE heard of the mother of the bride being the matron of honor (when the wedding is very, very small...family only), but NEVER a bridesmaid...and, frankly, what mother would want to?
Yes...it's weird!

I agree. It's kind of weird. I don't like when fathers are groomsmen either. A mother should decline the offer from her daughter. I have been a bridesmaid 10 times but I look forward to being the "Mother of the Bride" someday.

No, but have heard of one being a Matron of Honour.
As you say, though, most moms just want to have their own special duties as Mother of the Bride.

I've never seen it done, but why not? Besides being walked down the aisle by an usher and wearing a corsage, what does the "mother of the bride" normally get to do? Plus, if mom is your good friend, I think it's sweet to have her there as a bridesmaid.

My mom will be my matron of honor (matron, because she's married) at my wedding. The position is supposed to be for someone who's very close to you, and my mom is my best friend.

It is weird, my son is getting married in April and I am happy walking down the aisle as "Mother of the groom" I mean I guess if she was the Maid of honor, but just a bridesmaid? No she needs to to feel the pride of being "mother of the bride" but like everyone is saying "to each his own"

I definetly think if she isnt going to be Mother of the Bride, she needs to have a better holding than just a bridesmaid. I think she should at least be maid of honor! C'mon!! Maybe, you as her friend, should point out that it might hurt her mother's feeling to not have a more important role...thats what friends are for; I think at least!
