Being someone's Matron of Honor is a huge compliment! Being asked to fulfill this very important role is an honor, indeed - you're trusted to be the bride's right-hand-woman during one of the most important times in her life. She wants you by her side to make those big decisions. What friend wouldn't want to be asked to perform such a beautiful function? The word "matron" in the title is not by coincidence. A wedding takes all kinds of careful planning and attention to last-minute details. That's where you come in! You're going to be the helper to your friend, the point-person all others will turn to when the bride is too busy to handle another detail. That's why it's so important to keep your composure at all times! The bride can fall apart - it's almost expected of her. You, being the matron of honor, have to be the cool head that prevails. You can start doing this early, as soon as the engagement party or the bridal shower is planned. Introduce yourself to everyone and make it clear you can be contacted with all those important questions. Take the pressure off your friend by handing out cards with your name, phone number, and email address printed on them, and invite the guests to come to you with the little questions - after all, your friend doesn't need to deal with the question of whether or not the happy couple already has a blender. As the wedding approaches, one of the matron of honors duties is to help with the bridesmaid's dresses, the flowers, even the coloring of the cake. You know what the bride wants - that's part of the reason you were chosen! - and you can take care of the little details to give her some time to breathe. You can take care of hotel arrangements for out of town guests, make sure the limousines are on time, and even decide who will sit at what table during the reception. You can also be the one who returns those five blenders to the store for her (thanks to those five people who chose not to come to you with registry questions...tsk, tsk!) Your role as the matron of honor is so important. Not only is she trusting you with the little details, she's trusting you with the biggest moment of her life. You will stand up for your friend as she says those vows she has dreamed about, and you can be proud that you helped her get there. With a little work and know how you can be the best matron of honor a bride has ever had.

Have you been asked to be a maid of honor? If so you must be very excited as this is a great honor and one that not many women get a chance to experience. Along with this honor comes great responsibility as well. You need to make sure you know all about your "maid of honor duties" before things really get going. Below I outline a few things you will need to make sure and do before the big day even arrives. The first maid of honor duty that you need to make sure and plan is the bridal shower. Typically it will take about 3 months to plan the bridal shower. And with each month prior there will be things you need to take care of. As the maid of honor you will need to find a good place to hold the shower, consult the bride on the guest list, mail out invitations and buy supplies. The second maid of honor duty you will need to take charge of is the bachelorette party. This needs to be a fun and exciting event for the bride, so be sure and plan it accordingly. The bachelorette party can have many ratings just like a movie can. Be sure the bride is good with a rated R party if that is what you plan. Also make sure and have the bachelorette party on the weekend so that you can get as many of the brides friends to attend as possible. Being the maid of honor is a great responsibility and cannot be taken lightly. Be sure to make your friend's wedding and events leading up to it memorable.
