Never has it been more important to be the Hostess with the Mostess than during the wedding planning process. Whether you are the bride, maid of honor, mother of the bride or the mother of the groom you will want to come off as a gracious hostess.
Here are few quick pointers:
- Always make sure the bride is informed of the guest list
- Keep the guests in mind at all times
- Make sure there will be sufficient refreshments
- Have the appropriate entertainment
- Be creative with decor (and enlist help where needed)
