Tips and advice for maid of honor?
💜This question is from our Lemon8 community @Katrina
💜”My best friend is getting married in August and asked me to be her Maid of Honor (MOH). I’ve never been a member of a wedding party before so I would accept any and all advice and tips from former and future brides & MOHs on things the MOH did that they found helpful for supporting the bride’s big day.”

Being a maid of honor is a rewarding yet challenging role that comes with significant responsibilities. Start by communicating with the bride; understanding her vision for the wedding is crucial. The MOH often assists with planning pre-wedding events like the bridal shower and bachelorette party, so staying organized is key. Use checklists and timelines to manage the tasks efficiently. Consider the etiquette of the role: be supportive, listen to the bride’s needs and concerns, and handle any unexpected situations with grace. As the big day approaches, your role includes coordinating with vendors, ensuring the bridal party is on schedule, and helping the bride get ready. This can also mean calming nerves and providing emotional support, making your friendship invaluable during this hectic time. Additionally, keep a checklist of tasks leading up to the wedding, such as dress fittings and rehearsal dinners. Share your own experiences and perspectives, and encourage other MOHs in the Lemon8 community to share their stories, creating a network of support and advice for future maids of honor. Remember, while it’s a big responsibility, it’s also an incredible opportunity to celebrate love and friendship!


Just be there for the Bride. My maid of honor made a bag of things that we could possibly need, extra hair supplies, makeup touch up stuff, gum and mints, Tylenol, tide to go, deodorant, bandaids, and other things I could have possibly needed.
