What to write in the program?

I'm making up the ceremony programs and I have a question on how to name something. During the ceremony, I am going to give a rose each to my mother, my grandmother, and my fiance's mother (all the matrons in the families). My cousin did this at her wedding and I thought it was beautiful. I was wondering what you would call this in the program. My florist called it the Sign of Peace, but I don't really like the sound of that.



Do you know the name of this or at least have suggestions for what I can call it?



Thanks!!!

Ummm rose dedication?
Reply:"Recognition of Our Mothers"?
Reply:A sign of Respect
Reply:I run a small invite/program business from home... I've seen it called many things.



I've never heard of the "Sign of peace" but I've seen it called

"In Honor of your respect" and "To our elders who've seen us through all"



I don't think theres an exact name for it.. Usually you will have a heading on your program such as this.





In honour of those we love and respect, a rose, to thank you for all you've done and taught us.



Mary Smith- Mother of Bride

John Smith- Father of Bride

Joan Smith- Grandmother of Bride

Alex Smith- Grandfather of bride

Etc....



Or



As a symbol of our respect, a rose.......



Mary Smith- Mother of Bride

John Smith- Father of Bride

Joan Smith- Grandmother of Bride

Alex Smith- Grandfather of bride

Etc....



Usually the pastor/minster will say these exact words as you hand the roses out. But again, do things the way you like. I've seen this done in so many ways.



Another cool thing if your doing the unity candle. I've seen brides and grooms, take the candle (before it's lit) and the mothers have a lit candle and the bride and groom lite their candle from their mothers and then lite the unity candle.. Symbolizes allot! Is shows a huge amount of respect for the mothers...



There are a ton of neat things to do for respect...



Good luck!
Reply:My aunt did that at her wedding last year. In her program she put it as "Rose Exchange"
