If you are still hazy on separate bridal showers, the mother-son dance, the rehearsal dinner and other miscellaneous mother-of-the groom mysteries, do not fret—you are in the right place. Here is an etiquette roundup with the solutions you need to pull off your role perfectly. Can the groom's parents host the engagement party? Anyone can host the engagement party but tradition dictates that the bride's parents have first dibs on the soirée. The groom's parents can then throw their own party, or both sets of parents can come together to host one jointly. The rehearsal dinner is the domain of the groom's parents. What are the traditional mother of the groom responsibilities? Typically, the bride is in charge of assigning tasks, and the degree of mom involvement should be left to her discretion. The mother of the groom can take over any of the wedding planning responsibilities once you get the go-ahead from the bride. And for a full rundown, see this detailed list of traditional mother of the grooms duties. If the groom's family and friends live far away from the bride's, can the mother of the groom host a separate shower including only the groom's loved ones? It is most traditional to have just one shower, hosted by the bride's attendants (or her family), with the mother of the groom and other groom family members included on the guest list. Even so, many brides have a several showers—one at work, one with friends, one back home at her mom's. The groom's mom should just make sure to touch base with the bride's maid of honor to let her know that her decision to throw a separate shower is because of the distance. The point of a shower is for all of the women close to the bride to come together for a few hours of gift giving, good food and bonding. If the two camps are not able to mingle, everyone should try to keep the bride's interests at heart and go from there. Does the father of the groom have a specific to-do list? The father of the groom can get in on many tasks—definitely include him in any of the things you plan on tackling yourself, or split your to-do list down the middle. What can I expect from the mother/son dance? The mother-son dance is an especially touching tradition and a wonderful way for the groom to honor his mom. Both the mother-son and father-daughter dances usually take place towards the end of the reception, before cake cutting time. What will happen: The DJ, Bandleader or banquet manager will announce that it is time for the father-daughter and mother-son dances. Often the groom and his mom are up first.
