Serve as a Maid (or Matron) of Honor
Make yourself available
The perfect MOH is a multi-tasker. You're able
to organize a guest list, address envelopes with a
handsome cursive and pin a hem in a lacy fabric. Of
course, no one's perfect, but be prepared to help
not just with the wedding and shower, but also with
at least some of the preliminary scut-work. If you
find yourself mopping floors or cleaning toilets,
remind the bride that you aren't the maid: You're
the maid OF HONOR. But do be available in the weeks
and months leading up to the wedding to provide
relief to the bride and her family. Most of all,
you're there for moral support.
If you see the bride spinning out of control,
actively volunteer your help. Fiancées
sometimes have a hard time delegating
responsibility. Maybe they are too shy to ask for
help, or they are perfectionists who think only
they can do it right. Whatever the case, tell her
you want to help in any way you can, and if she
does not take you up on your offer right away,
offer specific times when you're available.
