Honeymoon Tips And ArticlesBeing the Matron of Honor.
We all know being the maid of honor means being responsible for organizing other attendants, helping the bride keep her cool and help keep her stress levels as low as possible! This will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you will always cherish. Here are some more tips to help you help the bride to be...
  1. Plan the bridal shower and bachelorette party but keep in mind the bride's style and tastes. Not every bride wants to drink tea at her bridal shower or wants a drink-a-thon at her bachelorette party. If they are registered on the honeymoon registry, think about throwing a shower based on where the honeymoon would be.
  2. Give her a break! Getting married is a very emotional time and may make the bride a lot more sensitive so remember to let the little things go!
  3. Be sure to let everybody, including guests/friends/family know where the bride and groom are registered. Many brides aren't sure how to let people know about their registry, send an email to the guests and put the wedding websites and registries on the shower invitations. And of course, word of mouth is important - it's easy to talk about the dream honeymoon the couple wants to take, let the guests know how they can be a part of it by telling them about the couples honeymoon registry.
  4. Attend the wedding dress fittings with the bride.
  5. Accompany the bride on her shopping trip for the bridesmaid's dresses and bridesmaid's shoes. This way you can help guide her direction of taste. Have fun shopping for the honeymoon as well!
  6. Offer to accompany the bride to hair and make-up appointments and give her an honest opinion. Keep in mind to support her 110%.
  7. Make sure the party gets off to a good start and chat it up with those who may not know too many people at the bridal shower, bachelorette party and wedding reception. Be a social butterfly!
  8. When the "Special Day" finally arrives, be sure to arrange the train of the bride's dress and veil before the ceremony and after she walks down the aisle. Pin up the train at the wedding reception if needed.
  9. The most important heartfelt toast of all! Give a toast to the bride and groom at the wedding reception. Remember the toast should be straight from the heart but keep it short! Using notes for the toast is acceptable but be sure to make eye contact with the audience.
So, you may be thinking, "I have a lot of work ahead of me." Relax! You are perfect for the job. After all, she did pick you to be her maid of honor with confidence and faith in your friendship! With your valuable love and support you can make this experience that much more rewarding!
