Weddings and Grandmothers: Let Us Handle the Logistics
Living Your Best Life
Few things can bring more joy to a grandmother than to hear there is a wedding being planned and having something to look forward to in the distant future gives anyone a reason to get out of bed each morning. But, nothing can bring more concern than fearing not being able to fully participate in the wedding planning. With a professional caregiver by her side, the grandmother of the bride can be as involved as she would like (or as much as the bride or mother-of-the bride would like her to be!)
It Starts with the Dress
Any fan of “Say Yes to the Dress” knows that grandmothers love to see their cherished granddaughters try on wedding dresses. A caregiver can be your grandmother’s escort as she joins the wedding dress party, assuring that she is carefully attended to and minimizing the stress on you and your mother. A caregiver can quietly stay in the background while family and friends enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime moment, but be immediately available when needed.
Should your grandmother not be able to travel—say you’re shopping in distant city—that doesn’t mean she can’t be part of the party. Remote technology, including Facetime and Skype, now make it possible for everyone to participate in dress selection. An aide can make sure the technology is in place at the right time so your grandmother doesn’t miss a joyful, exciting minute.
And it’s not just about the wedding gown; your grandmother also wants to look her best on wedding day. And with a concierge-level caregiver she will. A professional caregiver can assist with dress shopping, salon appointments, and more.
Showers, Engagement Parties, The Whole Shebang!
We all know that the wedding is just one day in a series of celebrations. And your grandmother shouldn’t miss out on any of it. A caregiver can make sure she gets to all pre-wedding events. She can assist with everything needed to enjoy the day …and that everyone else can enjoy their day too knowing your grandmother is in trusted, professional, caring hands.
Suppose she wants to host a party or dinner herself in your honor? Her caregiver is there to help. Shopping for a gift either in-store or online? Yes, a concierge level caregiver can help with that, too.
When the special day finally arrives, all eyes will be on the bride, but all hearts will be bursting with joy that all the generations were able to be involved and present.
