What do you expect of your MOH and BP?

What do you expect of your MOH and BP?

I think everyone has different expections of their MOH and BMs. Would anyone care to share their opinions. I mean in terms of how much they should do, how much they should be available to help, how much they should spend, having an opinion on the dress, should they have to have their hair/make up done, etc.... pay for the shower. Anything along these lines. Just wondering what the popular opinion is.



Happy Friday everyone

hmmmm Im happy if they would all agree on a dress and then show up in it!!

I dont think they should really go crazy helping me.. they all have their own lives. but when it comes to something that they are really involved in like picking the bm dresses... they should be around for that. I dont have a set price of how much they should spend im trying to keep it as minimal as possible. I dont care if the shoes match and I dont care if they do their makeup professionally that day - although hair would be nice. and I guess they should all chip in for the shower even though that makes me feel bad

Your MOH should def. be the person who you can go to for all your wedding advice/stress/etc.
She should go w/you to look for your dress - the BP dresses - she should organize the bridal shower/bach. party and support you the day of the wedding.
As for who pays for the shower - everyone does it differently, but all the BM's, MOH and sometimes, the MOB, MOG can chip in.
Your BP is SO important!!!!

In all honesty, I hope they all work together and throw me a shower and bachelorette party. But most importantly I would hold them responsible for payment and alterations of their dress and purchasing shoes. Oh and who can forget.....getting to the church on time!!!

I expect my MOH and my BP to just be supportive and excited for me. To listen to my indesive craziness and offer their opinions when asked. Of course, a little shower and a bachelorette GTG is nice and attending the fittings for their dress and paying for it and their shoes is also helpful.

I think there is soo much expectations on the BP that a lot of people back out because they don't want to be in that sort of pressure. I just want the people I care about to stand up for me on my wedding day. Of course I expect them to pay for their dress and what ever comes along with that, but everything else is whatever they seem fit to take care of. They are the closest people to me, so they know that I don't ask much I just want them there!!

Don't expect much. LOL Most of my BP and MOH live out of town. So I really didn't expect much from them because they were spending so much money flying to NY anyways. Some of my girls flew up to NY for my bachelorette party 5 months before my wedding. I was upset my with My MOH she really didn't seem there for me. I didn't expect her to come to my bachelorette party or do my shower...but, I did expect a couple of phone calls to ask how I was doing with the planning. NOt even a card.

Ditto for me!!! Except one (not MOH), mine are completely detached. They have their own lives, but it just pisses me off that I was supportive of theirs.

Um, I expect them to have at least A LITTLE enthusiasm about my wedding, to at least pitch in for the shower, to organize a bachelorette party and to buy their dresses. Other than that, they're pretty off the hook. As someone else said, they have their own lives and my wedding is certainly not the center of it.

I expect my MOH to be there for me with moral support and advice when I need it (which she has, wonderfully) I expect her to help me out with little things if I ask her too (which I rarely do). I expect them to pay for their dresses on time (hasn't happened yet), buy their shoes and get them dyed on time, get/pay for their hair & makeup; get together and throw me a bachelorette party & shower. I expect them to show up for rehearsals and rehearsal dinner. Show up to the wedding on time and help things go smoothly that day (as opposed to making things more difficult). That's pretty much it.


I don't think that's too much to ask. I don't even ask that they be enthusiastic or excited or even happy for me or listen to me blabber on about wedding stuff and most them aren't very enthused anyway.

not much- pay for their dress and shoes and just show up..

everyone has their own thing going on in their lives..the wedding will be a focal point the day of...

Re: What do you expect of your MOH and BP?

Being a bridal party member is not a job....the reason you ask them is so that they can stand up for you and support you on your special day.....no one should be a bridezilla and 'expect' certain behavior from their bridal party. It certainly helps to have a BP which contributes and helps, etc. But there is no set of standards or rules that they have to follow!

I agree with Monters...

Not much...buy the dress and show up to the shower and wedding.

My mom is paying for the shower.
