she's not! She hasn't done much. Although I must admit that I haven't asked much b/c I like to do it all by myself. I know that the day of my wedding she'll do everything I need her to.

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
what duties?
I decided to do everything myself, so I can avoid the aggravation of relying on others....
She's in oregon, so she can't plan the shower.... she's really only responsible for her outfit and dressing my nephew in his mini-tux.....

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
I have not asked her to do anything yet. I feel so weird about asking her to do stuff since just being in a wedding is already taking on such a huge financial burden.

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
she has been there i suppose for a alot of emotional support. as far as duties she really hasnt done much yet. Her sister got engaged this last november and is getting married right after me so i suppose her focus is more on her. Which is understandable.

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
wow! i guess i'm in the minority here!
my MOH (who is also my sister) has been a life saver. she lets me biitch to her about everything....even though she HATES strapless, she did not flinch once when i decided on a strapless gown for the dress....she bought me tons and tons of stuff for my shower...she organized the shower, found the location, made the invites, and handled the favors with my 1 BM (personalized M&Ms in little tins and heart shaped compact mirrors!), she is handling my bachelorette party including mailed out actual cute invites...will be making baked goods and food for the party (its gonna be in my apt)....etc etc
each time i hear horror stories about MOH's on here, i have to say, i thank god i have my sister!

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
I must admit that besides for planning the bridal shower my MOH has not not done anything. I have not asked for help either....but I feel like we were closer before the wedding planning.

I haven't given my MOH any duties, except the day of to do my hair ( she is my hairdresser and my sister)... otherwise I have done all the planning myself.

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
From what I hear my MOH (one of my sisters) is doing an excellent job organizing my bridal shower and bachelorette party. She came over the other night and helped with my cry packs and is there to help with opinions on different things. I can't complain!

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
My MOH is my sister and best girlfriend, and she's been absolutely amazing. She's in a psychology PhD program and has zero 'extra' time, AND she is ALSO the MOH for her friend's wedding in May! Somehow she has already planned both of our bridal showers, and has running excel and microsoft word spreadsheets about decorations, who pays for what, guestlists and what needs to be done! I've done pretty much all of my wedding planning on my own, but she's been right there for me, going to meetings with me, helping me pick & plan She's amazing!! And I can't wait to do it all for her when its her turn!

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
My Moh and I got engaged on the same day last year so those 6 months leading up to her wedding were mostly about her. But she is always there to listen to me go on and on and on. Next weekend she is actually coming, from VA, for a long weekend (she took friday and monday off) to help with some of the diy projects. She knows me the best so I'm sure she'll help my mom and other BM's plan whatever they choose to plan. I do feel lucky that I have her as my MOH.

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
My moh hasn't done much yet but she's supportive and excited about the wedding and says she's glad to help if I need anything so I do appreciate that.. I think she's also starting to plan a bach party which is so nice... but I haven't really asked her to do much.

Re: How is your MOH handling her duties ?
What duties? LOL
My MOH is a married mother of 2 with a full time job as a teacher and a part time job as the bookkeeper for her husband's business. They also just did a MAJOR addition to their home (basically rebuilt EVERYTHING except the kitchen and one bathroom) so she is going crazy trying to get that all in order. I would feel AWFUL asking her to do anything - because I know how busy she is.
So the responsibilities I gave her were as follows:
*Make sure that I have no bridal shower because I find them horribly dull and I don't need anything so I would feel like I was having a party just to take take take
*Pick a dress that you like.
*Throw me a kick *** bachelorette party.
We aren't having a BS - so that's good. She hasn't picked out a dress yet - but she is the only one in the party so she can pull something off the rack if need be. She planned a trip to Vegas for February 9th! So the bachelorette party FULLY meets all criteria for kick ***. :)
