Tips to Know || Maid of Honor Duties

Just like the best man planning the bachelor party, the maid of honor is responsible for hosting the bachelorette party, in addition to assisting with or even hosting the bridal shower. These parties can range in their design and creativity…that of which I will be blogging about in the future. But for now, let me share with you my thoughts on what a maid of honor should do, at the very least.


Pre-Wedding:
Sometimes, the maid of honor accompanies the bride to be in going to a registering with different places for her wedding gifts, and even attend bridal expos with the bride to be as well. But one of the biggest things a bride most likely will want to share with her maid of honor is the dress shopping and fitting.

Just before the wedding day is the rehearsal. The maid of honor should assist the coordinator in gathering the other bridesmaids to walk through the rehearsal. After the rehearsal, the maid of honor is of course expected to attend the rehearsal dinner.

The Wedding Day:
Come the wedding day, the maid of honor really steps up to the plate and helps with a lot of things, including:

• Helping the bride get dressed
• Assist the florist in distributing the bouquets, boutonnieres and corsages to the wedding party
• Keep all bridesmaids on track and ensure that come the time of the ceremony, they’re ready to go
• The best man holds the rings, the maid of honor holds the bride's bouquet during the ceremony
• Signing the marriage license along with the best man
• Bustles the bride's wedding dress for the reception
• Help the bride in the washroom
• Just like the best man, the maid of honor delivers a toast

These are just some of the more important things a maid of honor is to do come the wedding day. But of course, the maid of honor should be prepared to do anything the bride asks of her to make her day that much easier and that much more enjoyable.

Bride Appreciation
There are a lot of helpful sites out there so that the maid of honor is well prepared. So get on that computer and Google away.

Whatever the maid of honor can lend to the bride in terms of support will of course be much appreciated by the bride and show her why she chose you for the honor.
