Being a maid of honor is a big responsibility! But, it's also a huge honor, which makes it all worth it. There are many physical things you’ll be in charge of, such as the bachelorette party, helping the bride go dress shopping, or even hosting the bridal shower. Keep reading to see what kinds of things you’ll be responsible for so that you can make your best friend’s day the best it can be!
Communication
You’re in charge of getting all the girls to be one big family. If its a large bridal party, the bride is probably going to have friends from all different times in her life. She’ll do her best to make sure everyone becomes friends, but you should take charge and get everyone to connect.
Additionally, lead the group chats and keep people accountable for getting the stuff they need for the wedding (dress, paying for things, important dates to remember, etc.). You should also be in charge of handling budgeting for bachelorette activities and working with the girls to make sure plans work for everyone.
2. Deal with conflict
Dealing with bridal parties can often lead to drama. People from different friend groups all come together to make this a special time for their friend, so it can result in tension. Be the one to eliminate that tension and get everyone to get along. Don’t let the bride be in charge of dealing with that.
3. Planning bridal events
You’ll be majorly in charge of planning things such as the bachelorette party, bridal shower, or other fun things for your friend. The bride will want a say, but you should be the one to handle details and the “not fun” stuff so that the bride doesn’t have to.
4. Support the bride
Be there for her when it comes to planning. Go with her dress shopping, help her pick out things for decor, and shower her with love and support! On the day of, work with the planner so that she can relax. And especially, be her advocate when it comes to the day of decision-making. Lots of people like to get involved in wedding planning, whether it be moms, dads, aunts, random relatives, etc. Be the one that advocates for the bride so that things are going the way she wants them and not just the way someone else does.
Being the maid of honor is truly….a big honor! Help your girl have the best wedding ever and be the one to take lots of stress off her shoulders. Have so much fun!
