Typically the bride's guests are seated on the left and the groom's family and friends are seated on the right-hand side of the church. The mother of the groom should be seated in the first pew on the right-hand side of the church. Her husband should be seated next to her unless they are divorced, in which case, he would be seated several pews back behind his former in-laws.

Usher Options

The lead usher is the traditional person to usher the mother of the groom to her pew. Another option is to have a son, who is also an usher, be the one who shows her to her seat. Finally, the groom himself can escort his mother to her seat for a sweet touch.
