When it comes to choosing your Mother-of-the-Bride<\/a> or Mother-of-the-Groom dress, it\u2019s best to put courtesy and comfort ahead of tradition and strict rules. Here are some do\u2019s and don\u2019ts to help get you started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do chat with the couple. <\/b>Whether your child or your future child-in-law is calling the shots, it\u2019s courteous to ask for an opinion or guidance. You don\u2019t have to strictly obey, but allowing her to give some input may save you a world of bad feelings later.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do coordinate in advance.<\/b> It\u2019s a matter of courtesy and avoiding the ultimate embarrassment of arriving in the same dress. At least reach out and get an idea what your counterpart is planning to wear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nearly all couples recognize the difference between a bridesmaid and a parent, so don\u2019t feel pressured to dress in a way that doesn\u2019t feel right to you. <\/span><\/p>\n

Do choose a style that flatters you. <\/b>As with many things in the wedding world, the strict rules of the past have relaxed. While you still need to consider whether or not the wedding is evening formal or morning casual, you\u2019re not tied into a specific suit or fabric. Experiment with necklines, hemlines, and waistlines until you find the perfect fit. <\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
