Being a Maid of Honor is a great honor. It means the bride trusts and loves you to help them on their big day. Here are 7 duties of a maid of honor.
1. PLAN THE SHOWER.
And if the bride wants one, the bachelorette party.
2. SPREAD THE WORD.
Let people know (especially before the bridal shower) where the bride and groom are registered.
3. KEEP A RECORD OF GIFTS.
The MOH should jot down what presents the bride receives at her shower and who gave them to her.
4. DO SOME DRESS SHOPPING.
Go with the bride to look for her gown, if she asks, and help shop for bridesmaids’ dresses.
5. COORDINATE BRIDESMAIDS’ DUTIES.
As the “chief” bridesmaid, the MOH should schedule dress fittings and carry out any other tasks assigned by the bride.
6. BE THE BRIDE’S RIGHT-HAND WOMAN.
Give her help where needed: Address the invitations, write out the place cards, weigh in on the cake, assemble playlist…
7. SAY A FEW WORDS.
Prepare a toast to the bride and groom to be given at the rehearsal dinner.

Yes all good advice, but sometimes the tasks get overwhelming. That’s why I offer services to help plan bridal showers and bachelorette parties. We can all use an assistant at times.
This list is so helpful! I love that it easily explains everything
Thank you! They give a lot of great advice!
These are so precise and to the point! I would be such a great MOH if I ever have the chance again. I was one for my sister but I was so young, I was 19 and just starting college. I had no idea about anything. I would totally do it over again.
We all learn as we go. Being young makes it harder to do a great job mainly because you don’t fully know what is expected. I hope you get the chance again to be a MOH.
I love this, definitely helpful, one to keep around if one of my friend ends up asking me to be her moh.

Thank you! Fingers crossed one of them asks you!
Short, simple, and straight to the point! My sister, best friend, and I were actually talking about the main responsibilities of a MOH. I’ll have to share this with them, so they know what duties are expected!
I hope they enjoy it! If you all think of anything to add let us know!
