Below is a short excerpt: It goes without saying that the mother of the groom has one of the most difficult jobs in the entire wedding party. Aside from the officiant, and perhaps the best man, the mother of the groom's duties are by far the most numerous and diverse. From holding rings and coordinating with catering personnel, to handling last-minute "fires," and mingling with guests, the title of Mother of the Groom carries with it a long list of responsibilities. Chief among them is your Mother of the Groom Speech. For anyone who's attended weddings before, you've probably seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. Some speakers give great speeches that energize the crowd and leave a memory that will last a lifetime. While others fumble through notes and put the audience to sleep. Worst of all is when a speaker fails so epically, that they leave people feeling awkward or uncomfortable. Intentional or not, this can have a long-lasting effect that can ruin the day. Whether it's malfunctioning microphones, lost note cards, or lack of preparation, there are a million things that can go wrong during a Mother of the Groom Speech. The purpose of this book is to help you navigate through the common pitfalls most Mothers of the Groom make and prepare you to give a KILLER Mother of the Groom Speech. In this book, I'll teach you how to prepare, brainstorm, outline, rehearse, and execute your speech. We'll discuss all of the duties of a Mother of the Groom so you're completely prepared for the day of the wedding. This will include coordinating with the bride and groom, dress and appearance, interacting with friends and family, recording the speech, alcohol consumption and so much more. Additionally, you'll learn the most common issues that happen during the Mother of the Groom Speech and how to overcome them. Moreover, I provide an example speech at the end of the book, that can be tweaked for your particular needs. Ultimately, this book will provide a Mother of the Groom with the tools, tips, tricks--and most importantly the confidence--they'll need to give a killer speech. By the end of the event, you'll walk out feeling like a hero and knowing you gave it 110%. I'm sure you're going to love this book. But don't take my word for it. Scroll up and BUY YOUR COPY TODAY!

Download or read book Always a Bridesmaid For Hire written by Jen Glantz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City millennial’s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the world’s only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writing—and not living on the “Upper East Side” of her parents’ house anymore—Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, “Jen, I have something exciting to tell you!” and ended with, “I’d be honored if you would be my bridesmaid.” At first she was delighted, but it wasn’t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first. One (slightly tipsy) night, Jen posted an ad on Craigslist advertising her services as a professional bridesmaid. When she woke up the next morning, it had gone viral. What began as a half-joke suddenly turned into a lifetime of adventure for Jen–and more insight into the meaning of love than she was getting from OKCupid—as she walked down the aisle at stranger after stranger’s wedding. Fresh, funny, and surprisingly sweet, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) is an entertaining reminder that even if you don’t have everything together, you can still be a total boss—or, at the very least, a BFF to another girl in need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best advice for the mother of the groom? Keep your mouth shut and wear beige! "It's bad enough when two mothers plan an event as fraught as a wedding, but what happens when the ex-husband's new girlfriend elbows her way in? Keep Your Mouth Shut and Wear Beige adds the mother of the groom to literature's rich collection of long-suffering women. When Seidel's heroine refuses to suffer in silence, the results are both poignant and hilarious." ---Debra Galant, author of Rattled and Fear and Yoga in New Jersey Darcy Van Aiken is doing just fine, thank you. She's an ICU nurse with an "amicable" divorce from her ex-husband, Mike, two great kids, and a prescription for Ritalin. Then her older son, Jeremy, gets engaged to Cami Zander-Brown---daughter of a wealthy New York family---and her world gets turned upside down. The source of her trouble, much to Darcy's surprise, is not in the form of Rose Zander-Brown, Cami's elegant and accomplished mother. Nor is it in the form of Guy Zander-Brown, Cami's charismatic and wildly successful literary agent father. Instead, lurking in the shadows of Mike's new life is the beautifully dressed Claudia, a self-described "managed perfectionist." The Zander-Browns have money. Lots of money. The plans for their daughter's dream wedding grow more fabulous by the day, and loving every minute is Claudia. With her perfect taste, Claudia can't help thinking she would make a much better mother of the groom than Darcy. This wedding is her chance to entrench herself in Mike's life---and take credit for the two sons Darcy has worked so hard to raise right. It's a battle of will and wits. What Darcy learns about herself---and about family and friendship---makes for a delicious, hilarious, touching read.
