Extra Maid of Honor Duties?
Have a bag of "emergency supplies" including makeup for touchups, chalk in case she gets something on her dress, a small sewing kit, chocolate, etc. My MoH had all that stuff and I was soo grateful. Also, just try to protect her from potential conflicts between Bridesmaids, Mother-in-Laws, etc. If it can be dealt with without having to upset her, all the better.

you're funny!
Reply:Offer to help with the fun, creative things, too. Make favors, address invites, help create seating chart. Whatever she needs! You already sound like a fantastic MOH!
Reply:Just be there for her. Listen to her concerns, her fears, let her vent when she needs to. Arrange a couple of girls nights where you can just hang out and have fun. No wedding drama allowed.
Reply:Keep track of who gives what and help her get her thank you letters out promptly. In fact, there would be nothing incorrect in your writing all the thank yous out as "on behalf of" letters.


"Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kenning, Virg and Mary want you to know how delighted they are with your Statue of Liberty bedspread. It really adds color and interest to their bedroom. Mary send her love and Virg says he hopes to see you again soon. Yours Truly, Stella Sweet (Mary's maid of honor)"





Another great service would be talking her out of buying things she can do perfectly well without but, encouraged by The Bridal Industry, is too eaten up with the shopping spree aspect of the wedding to see common sense. After the honeymoon, send her an UNbill listing all the stuff she didn't buy and so doesn't have to pay for. Saving her $500 on costs is like handing her the cash, yes?





Definitely take on the role of referee/enforcer/restrainer and be proactive in preventing conflict among the involved parties and in resolving those conflicts that do manifest. If a bridesmaid is taking advantage, you be the one to read her the riot act. If the bride is being a nasty little dictator, you be the one to tell her to stuff it.





Last of all, don't be MOH 24/7. Sometimes the bride is going to want someone to just listen and let her vent. If you're offering solutions and help, then you're not letting her do that. Instead of giving helpful advice, say things like "That must have been very frustrating" to encourage her to have a good witching session and get it all out of her system. Then forget every word.
Reply:Everyone gave your great tips already. Don't' forget to keep her dress straight (not all bunched up) during the ceremony and help her bussle it later on.
Reply:advise from a bride to be;


don't drive your bride crazy. I'm at the point with my MOH that i'm considering excluding her from the wedding. Be there for her, offer your help, and you opinion should only be offered when asked for. There are tons of details that need to be taken care of, she'll let you know what she needs.





I would say


getting place cards ready


getting favors ready


getting guest book, and all other essentials, to the venue before going to get hair done.


any details so she doesn't have to worry about it.





also, make up bathroom baskets for mens and womens with things like tampons, dental floss, perfume, klenex, mints, anything you can think of. it will come in handy a million times that night.
Reply:The best thing to do is just make your time available esp. the week or few days before the wedding for all those last minute errands and tasks. The bride just needs tangible support those last few days getting all of the ducks in a row and lots of reassurance that everything will be perfect! Maybe surprise her with a massage the week before or a little gift just for her on the day of. Just think about what you would want her to do for you if you were the one getting married and she was your MOH!
