Jen C says
Mother of the bride needs? Here is my top five: (1) Tissues (lots). (2) Handi-wipes or similar. (3) Forget needle and thread and go with a good double-stick tape meant for clothing. So much faster and you won’t need to have scissors or risk getting lipstick on someone’s clothes trying to cut with your teeth. (4) collapsible umbrella. Not just for rainy days. When it’s hot and sunny outside while you’re waiting…waiting…waiting…it’s a great way to shade yourself. (5) bottle of water. Seriously. stay hydrated!
