Maid of Honor Duties! Thoughts?

Good Morning Ladies!
In addition to planning my own wedding, my best friend is getting married and I am her MOH. I wanted to make sure I do all the right things. I offered to purchase the bridal shower favors and provide the cake for the shower. Is that suffice? What else should I be doing other than the 'day of' duties.

Also, my thoughts on her favors for bridal shower... She is getting married in California but is having her shower here in NY. I thought it would be cute to have the heart shaped luggage tags as the favor. Practical and cute! Thoughts?

Thanks everyone...

Sounds like you've got her shower under control!!

Does she want a bachelorette party too? You'd be in charge of gettiing that together. Be in contact with the other BMs.

You can also help her pick out her dress as well as the BM dresses. And I had my MOH help stuff invitations, you could also help wrap favors and make DIY stuff.

Really just sit down with her and ask her what it is that she wants you to do, some brides want their MOHs to be very involved and some would rather just handle everything themselves.

I think that's great of you to get the favors and cake for the shower. I assumer the MOB is paying for the shower?

In addition to that, you could try to get the other girls in the BP together to go in on a gift. My MOH and 2 of my BMs went in together to get us a lot of our bedding. (Something that would have been too expensive for just 1 person to give) I thought that was really nice!

Does she want any kind of bachelorette party? If so, that's something you should help coordinate.

I think the shower favors sound like a very nice idea. I always like edible favors, too. My MOH got these beautiful little flower bouquets - and each petal was actually candy covered chocolate! They were a big hit.

That is a really great idea! Just make sure you introduce people and get familiar with the families I recently went to a bridal shower and the MOH gave everyone the cold shoulder....not very nice!

I have also seen those great neck pillows for the plane...might be expensive but you could check those out too!

You can see if you can get the bridal party together for a group gift! Alot of times you can put that candle basket together with the poem!

I have a wine poem too FM me if you would like it!

good luck

This is all great advice girls. We are actually doing the bachelorette the same weekend as the shower (she lives in Cali). I'm going to rent a hotel suite (everyone chips in) for Friday night in NYC and do the Awesome 80's Prom. Saturday a day to get nails done @ Dashing Diva and the Sunday the shower. I've been organizing her bach/shower.
I just want her day to feel special and she's not 'very girly.'

Thanks everyone!!!
