How Do I Get My Mother and the Groom’s Mother to Get Along?

When a couple gets engaged and starts planning their wedding, they often don’t realize that there will be a whole list of characters by their side through this whole adventure, helping them make decisions, pitching in their opinions, and staring up drama on the sidelines, before anyone has a chance to see it coming.

 

If your mother and the groom’s mother have a history of butting heads or not being able to share a glass of wine together without an outbreak of emotions and heated arguments surfacing the table, it’s important to fix the situation before you get too deep in the wedding planning, or find yourself walking down the aisle.

 

The best thing to do is have them have a conversation. It’s as simple as that. Let them get together and decide who is taking care of what and who is in charge of doing what. From there, they’ll know what projects or event plans they own and can take charge, Without doing that, both mothers may try to do everything, all at once, and we all know what happens when there’s two cooks in the kitchen right? You may end up with two different wedding cakes, which isn’t the worst thing in the world, but try two different DJs.
