Saying ‘Thank You’ are the most powerful words to hear. Think about the hard work you’ve done while planning your wedding and don’t forget to thank your parents. The Mother of the Bride or MOB has helped you along the way since you first got engaged. The Father of the Bride or FOB has probably worried about this moment since you were born. There are so many emotions in place during your wedding day and then you join lives with your new husband. Your wedding day is all about wedding vows, great speeches, wedding toasts, wedding cake, first dances, and bringing together your two families. Keep those great milestones in mind and remember your parents who are trying to catch up with your move into married life.
The truth in thanking your parents is they want to be appreciated. It’s up to you to take this on. If you struggled with your parents during planning, remember its proper etiquette to thank them, and you could really surprise them with your thoughtful actions. You may have a large or small budget for thanking your parents but make sure you do something that’s special. I love those Priceless commercials from Mastercard and I challenge you to think of creative ways to say ‘Thank You’. No matter what, your words or actions will be priceless.
