10 Uncommon Tips For A 1st Time Maid Of Honor
I don’t really believe in wedding season because I’ve been to weddings.. in every season. Each of them so pretty & special. But I get it; spring is colorful, fresh, lush, & the weather is just right. Below is a list I put together of the rather uncommon tips I have for the first time Maid’s of Honor (aka MOH).
There are millions of girls out there that have been in a million weddings, but then – there’s girls like me. I have 4 friends. One of them is my dog. I invest in the other 3 really well, but it’s hard for me to manage more than that. (Remember, this post?) I’ve accepted I’m not a 36 BFF’s type person. So this was the first wedding I had to wear a Maid of Honor hat.
If you’re like me & one of those 4 friends of yours is getting married & wants you to be their Maid of Honor – this post is for you. Because you’ll likely be the only newbie, & w the coveted position next to the bride.
10 Uncommon Tips For A 1st Time Maid Of Honor
Show Up: This sounds obvious but I’ve been to other weddings where the Best Man or the Maid of Honor is missing from particular events, if at all possible don’t be that person. Just showing up, being present, smiling, is already making you a star at the duty. And not just wedding day, I’m talking bridal shower(s), bachelorette parties, wedding weekend events, all of it! Everyone wants to see the Groom, Bride, Parents, & then bridal party.
Only Do What the Bride Wants: Don’t do more. Have good communication w the bride so you know what she wants & listen to her. Then stick to just that. Something that’s cool or important to you, might not be to them, & vice versa.
A Petit Four is a Small Cake: Yeah. I guess everyone else knows this? Good term to have in your pocket, thank me later. They’re served at bridal showers. If you’re in charge of bringing dessert, this is probably what they’re expecting. (You have no idea the amount of time I googled this)
