Every Year on the Second Sunday of May! A Wedding Surprise for Mom on Mother's Day＊

2018.04.10 published

People getting married on May 12 and 13, 2018!

This year's Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th ♡

This date is perfect with the lovely spring weather, on a weekend, just after Golden Week, and the day before is an auspicious day!

Since this is a popular date that competes for the top two in the year (?), there should be many brides getting married all over Japan during these two days ♡

As is the case every year, if you have a wedding on the second Sunday of May, it will coincide with Mother's Day!

While it is a day to celebrate yourself, it would be wonderful if you could incorporate some Mother’s Day-themed surprises into the wedding ♡

Here are some ideas for little surprises or presentations that can express gratitude to your mother＊

Mother's Day wedding surprise for your mom①

<<Bouquet of Carnations>>

Speaking of Mother's Day, it must be carnations! How about using a bouquet of carnations as a gift for both mothers? ♡

You can simply present the bouquet or also give some carnations as a bonus for other occasions too＊

Having the host announce, “The bouquet from the newlyweds is called carnations in honor of Mother’s Day,” will make it easy for guests to understand and might bring a tear to their eyes＊

<<Mentioning Mother's Day in the Bride's Letter>>

It would be natural and nice to add a line in the bride's letter, like “Today is Mother’s Day”＊

While it's fine to speak only about your own mother, as a thoughtful bride, considering the ties between both families, it would also be great to say a word to your mother-in-law♡

An introduction like, “Mother-in-law, today is my first Mother’s Day with you. I look forward to your guidance from here on out,” can strengthen family bonds ♩

It would also be nice for the groom to write a letter too♡

<<Prepare Mother's Day Limited Items>>

You can prepare handkerchiefs or Mother’s Day limited edition sweets as gifts and place them at each seat with a message as a subtle way of expressing gratitude.

By conveying, “We haven’t forgotten Mother’s Day!” before the reception starts, it can make the event even more meaningful for mothers＊

<<Involve the Mother-in-Law in the Production>>

If your mother is not shy, having her take part and stand out during one of the wedding productions would add to the Mother's Day atmosphere. Announcing, “Since today is Mother’s Day, the newlyweds would like to acknowledge their mothers!” would definitely enhance the occasion＊

Recommended productions include having her participate in a "thank you" bite after the first bite or escorting during the intermission♡

Let’s express our thanks to our mothers on their special day at the wedding too ♩

Every year, the second Sunday of May is Mother’s Day. (Father’s Day is the third Sunday of June!)

If you are holding a wedding on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, make sure to include a surprise that expresses your gratitude to your parents for everything they have done and show your in-laws that you will be taking care of them from now on♩

When incorporating it into the reception, the key point is to do so subtly! This article has introduced four methods, but doing all of them might make the mother stand out too much, creating a too familial atmosphere.

It seems just picking one would be just right ♩

Weddings on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day will surely become an unforgettable new step in your life for your parents too♡

Cherish your parents and hold a wonderful wedding ceremony＊
