Celebrate all the mothers of brides this Sunday – #SAVEMOTHERSDAY
Just a little reminder it?s Mother?s Day on Sunday! Don?t forget to give a little extra love and attention to your mum ? spend some time with her and include her in your weekend wedding prep. For those of you who are scouting the country up and down for your dress, share the love on social media and post a photo of you and your mum during this exciting time.

Whatever you are doing this Mother?s Day ? wedding bits or otherwise ? by posting a picture of you and your mum, your partner or you and the kids, you can help champion Mothers in the UK and Africa by supporting Amref Health Africa and using the hashtag #SAVEMOTHERSDAY.
Once you have done this, you can then then check out the digital gallery at www.savemothersday.co.uk. There you?ll be able to spot your mum, find out more information about the campaign and donate to the cause.
