Alternative Names for Mother of the Bride

Megan, on March 30, 2017 at 9:08 PM Posted in Planning 0 37

My mother does not want to referred to as the Mother of the Bride, and I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for alternative names. This is especially true as we are getting our names embroidered on robes for the wedding day.

    Why doesn't she want to be the Mother of the Bride?

    Her actual name? Why does she not want to be referred to as that. I would think it would be an honor.

    She wants a fun and different name. To her being the mother of the bride is boring

    There is no "fun and different" name - just put her first name on the robe

    Call her the M.O.B. it's just abbreviated but keeps the honor of the title and a little different. Plus people can have fun making stuff up!

    Bride's mother? Mom of the bride? Bride's mom? There really isn't a lot of options. I don't know why your mom wouldn't want to be referred to as your mom though. Seems a little odd.

    She does have a nickname, I think that makes sense. Prudalence McFly it is. My mum loves being my mum she just doesn't like to think of herself as old and stuffy and likes to have fun with things. She knows she is the mother of the bride she just wants a silly name. My brides maids are Brideminions and I am Meglonis Gru

    You have two choices here: Mother of the Bride (which she is.) OR Her first name, (which is also factual information.) I don't know what other options she wants. A special name just for the wedding? Nah. It's one or the other. Not really something that should require so much thought.
