if you are talking about a shower--you can have a shower at home--thats cheap but always special





if you are more concerned with the bachlorette party there are many ideas for bachelorette parties--you can do a weekend bachelorette party at the beach ( depending on when the wedding is) or you can go to an amusement park--or a club that allows 18yr olds--

You will be the one to look out for her needs and requests on her special day. She may be tearful, and you will be right there to comfort her. She may be nervous, and you will be right there to calm her. She may request a drink of water, or even ask you to give some of the hired vendors their checks.





When she is up at the alter (if the wedding is in a Church), it is often common for the Maid of Honor to fluff out the train on her wedding gown so it drapes nicely on the stairs or flooring on the altar behind her (for the pictures, especially). You will also be handed by her the bridal bouquet to hold with your bouquet during the ring exchange. Sometimes, the Maid of Honor holds the groom's ring, if there is not a ring bearer in the party, or if the Best Man does not hold both bridal rings. But don't worry, there will be a wedding rehearsal, and the wedding coordinator will cover all this with you. If not sure, always ask questions. They understand that most girls don't do this every day!





As far as the bachelorette party is concerned, I would suggest to have it at least 1-2 weeks prior to the actual wedding. In the old days, it was always held the night before.


If there is a club in your area that either does not serve alcohol, (due to her age), you could arrange to have it there. Otherwise, pick a fun restaurant with good music. And take lots of pictures for the memories!





Have fun!
Reply:I'd look online for shower games and ideas. There are absolutely fabulous ideas out there. I was the maid of honor for my sister's wedding and have been in two others. The one thing we did for my sister's shower was to get a diary type book and the married couples at the shower wrote little anecdotes and tips of being married or funny little married stories. It was very nice and at times hysterical to read after the fact. We even put a little poem on the inside to let people know what to do.


For the bach party, I'd have a party at home or hotel. Be careful on the drinking though for the younger people. You could also do a nice dinner out, maybe a concert, then head back to someone's house for an after-hours thing. Good luck!!!
Reply:Whao!!!! hold she' 18. oh well. she is lucky. you could give her a party at a really nice beach in your area or a theme party of something she likes or try to get a singer or artist to come and sing for her. Something like that to celebrate her last years as a sinlge teen and new life as a married adult. good luck
Reply:you have to bone the groom to test him out to see if he will be good enouhg for her
Reply:I was the maid of honor for my best friend. For her shower we had a luncheon at a tea room. They had fun hats, boas and scarfs and even pretty gloves to try on. We had a Victorian themed room with yummy sandwiches and great tea. Even the flower girl had a wonderful time. As far as the bachlorette party. I would suggest since she is still so young to keep it to a fun but comfortable environment. What about a day of pampering for just you and her or the bridal party to get facials, pedicures, and massages if she is comfortable with the idea. I think it be a more relaxing environment than to try to work with the typical bachlorette party ideas. Good luck!!!
Reply:I think you should make the bachelorette party in a house.... It doesn't have to be in a club... invite all her friends. I'm not sure If you want them all to drink.. but if you decide to do so. be careful.. if the police are called for disturbance... then you can be in some serious trouble.
