Blessing...

We are going to have a 'hand blessing' during our ceremony and may not have another reading, so we are considering asking someone to read the blessing.

I would like to possibly ask my mother to do it, as I would love to make her feel more involved and have a bigger role. BUT is this bad etiquette if we don't also ask fiance's mother to play a bigger role too? I don't want people to feel left out but its just impossible to involve everyone that we are close to.

  • Is there a way you can have one read the first part of the blessing then have the other read the last part?

  • See, I'm not a fan of moms in ceremonies.  I think they should just sit back and enjoy.

    If it were me I would have the pastor/officiant do it.  But to each their own.
  • In my opinion, it's fine as long as your financee's mother will have some sort of role. Even is it's just something small like helping you with decor. Just as long as she feels involved with something.
