Will you be my maid of honor??

January 25, 2011 eventseasy

Those 7 little words mean a huge responsibility. Although someone may feel special when asked to be someone’s maid of honor or bridesmaid in their wedding, they need to understand how much responsibility it can be. The bride needs to understand this also. The people that you choose to stand up with you when you say your vows need to do much more than stand up at your wedding. They’re responsible for so much more from planning to certain responsibilities at the actual wedding.

What do they actually do? How do I choose them?

Well a maid of honor is supposed to take a step above the bridesmaids and should be the head in all of the responsibilities that you ask of your bridesmaids. She (or he) should be the one to attend your appointments with you, your fittings, learn to bustle your dress, help you make decisions, plan the bridal shower, possibly, plan the bachelorette party, if applicable.  The maid of honor should be the bride’s right hand girl, and should make the bride less stressed in any way possible. The maid of honor is also responsible for giving a toast or a speech at the reception. She will be the girl who fixes your train and holds your bouquet during your ceremony. Make sure when you pick someone to fill this role that you can trust her to hold all of this responsibility. Sometimes your first thought isn’t always the best pick. This decision takes a lot of thought and consideration.

 The bridesmaids have a lot of responsibility too. They are responsible for also helping the  bride to relieve stress in any way possible. They will assist with planning the bridal shower and the bachelorette party. They will assist with shopping and planning in anyway needed. They will also be responsible for being social during the reception and ensuring that everyone is having a good time. When choosing your bridesmaids, make sure that the girls you pick are girls who are going to be there for you unselfishly and only want to make you happy. These are the girls who will still be okay with hearing about your wedding planning after a year of talking about it.

Dn’t forget to get your bridal party something nice for all of their hard work. They put in a lot of effort to ensure your wedding goes as planned. They also have to wear a dress and do their hair and makeup how you want! So remember to thank them in a special way! Jewelry, flasks, glasses, gift certificates, and personalized things all are great ideas!!
