Here is a general list of the primary responsibilities for the maid or matron of honor. Be sure to check with the bride before just running out and completing these tasks.
- Help inform invitees of where the bride and groom are registered.
- Inform bridal party of all important dates pertaining to the wedding.
- Plan and host or help a family member throw a shower for the bride.
- Make sure to plan accordingly to attend all pre-wedding functions.
- Help with large tasks such as wedding favors, addressing invitations, and whatever else is needed.
- Ensure bridesmaids get dresses, dress fittings, jewelry, and any other accessories for the ceremony.
- Hold the groom's ring during the ceremony.
- Hold the bride's bouquet while the couple exchange vows.
- Sign the marriage license as a witness, with the best man.
- Remember a card for the bride, just to show how much they mean to you.
Remember last that most often you are in charge of your own travel expenses and arrangements, bridesmaid attire, and accessories. Weddings are already an expensive venture for the families and brides themselves, try to always keep that in mind. In general, your main job is to alleviate any undue stress on the bride before and during the ceremony.
