I am helping a friend of mine organize her wedding, and she admittedly has very few girl friends. She would like to ask her mother to be a Bridesmaid. She has already asked her best friend be the Maid of Honor. I told her that it may not be proper to have her Mother as a Bridesmaid that she should either be the Matron of Honor or not be asked to stand with the Bride. So my question is whether its proper for a Bride's Mother to be a Bridesmaid, or if she is to be the Matron of Honor is it proper for there to be a Maid of Honor as well? Thanks.
Anna

Re: Can Bride's Mother Be Bridesmaid

Dear Anna,
There isn't anything wrong with her mother standing in either role. But, it may be viewed as a bit of a slight to choose a friend over a mother for her MOH. Plus, the mother of the bride is a special role as well. So, it may be best if she chooses her mother to be her MOH or keep her charished mother of the bride role.
