Exact duties of "Maid Of Honour" ?
To be blunt, you are her "maid" before the wedding. You should do whatever you can to help alleviate any stress she will have on her big day.





Assist the bride in determining the appropriate dresses for the bridesmaids (if they look horrid--it's your job to tactfully tell her and she may or may not agree with you but at least you've given your opinion, wouldnt you want your best friend to do the same for you).





Hosting a shower would be your duty (or at least co-hosting one); organizing a bachelorette party.





On the big day, making sure that she looks perfect and generally taking care of any details she's stressing about. (hint: 2 sided tape always comes in handy).
Reply:This varies according to each wedding. Best thing you can do is talk to the bride and see what she wants from you.


For my wedding, my attendants weren't expected to do any "work" - I asked the MOH and bridesmaids so they would support us by being in the wedding party. The only thing I asked of my MOH was to watch out for my gown at the ceremony, had a long train, - and be the official witness.


So, the variation comes with circumstances according to what the bride wants or needs, and what the attendants are willing to do.
Reply:You probably want to take the lead or help plan with her family in putting together a bridal shower. On the day of the wedding, I guess whatever you can do to make her not have to worry about little things. Make sure everyone in the bridal party has their things together and are dressed on time.
