You said yes to the bride. Now, grab onto this maid of honor duties list to become the best MOH ever!
This Uber complete maid of honor duties list is a Must Have before, during and after the ceremony.
Here’s the short of it: planning the bachelorette party and bridal shower, lead the bridesmaids, being the goto person on the wedding day, giving a speech and help the bride change into her send off clothes! Yep! And it’s not over! So, if you’ve been chosen as the MOH, bookmark this page with the maid of honor duties list that will make you the best bestie ever!
Centuries ago, the maid of honor role was fulfilled by the mother of the bride or a person close to the bride whose function was to escort and protect her on her way to the wedding ceremony. I guess it always sounds like the bride needed defending from something, right? Well, in this case, the threat was real. Brides would wear their best garb, jewels and valuables thus becoming the target of thieves. The maid of honor task was to avoid these attacks.
Times changed, but the maid of honor is as important as in the past. She may not have to battle robbers but she still has to get the bride to the ceremony safe and sound.
The maid of honor duties vary from bride to bride. She may just help organize the bachelorette party or lead the bridesmaids, throw the bridal shower and bachelorette party and assist the bride at all times before, during and after the wedding.
Do you want to rock your maid of honor duties? Then sit down and talk to the bride and ask her exactly what she expects from you.
Some brides will expect you to show up on the day of the wedding, others will want you to support them all the way through and most, somewhere in between.
Planning a wedding is not an easy task. The work is endless, it could demand long hours and piles of decision-making and it’s often exhausting (but definitely satisfactory!) Therefore, the MOH is essential in supporting the bride at all times.
Anyway, your bestie may not know all that you could help her with, so here is the list of maid of honor duties divided into before, during and after the wedding ceremony. Take note!
