Maid of Honour Duties

Q: What are the duties of the maid of honour?

A: The maid of honour is the lead hand for the bride, both on the day of the wedding, and for most events leading up to the wedding. Prior to the wedding, the maid of honour typically assists the bride with various organizational details, and with the co-ordination of meetings, rehearsals, and fittings for the rest of the bridal party. Generally speaking, the maid of honour plays a very important role on the day of the wedding as well. She is to assist the bride with anything that may come up. For example, the maid of honour will assist the bride with her dress prior to the ceremony, and en route to the photographic session, etc. The job of the maid of honour is more than just a job of services to be completed, it is based on friendship and love. To be a friend, and a support system for the bride both prior to, and during the wedding, is by far the most important goal for the maid of honour to achieve.
