I want the be the best Maid of Honor for my sister. I know my basic responsibilites, but what are some great ways to make her feel even more special? I want to take this responsibility to the extreme, and even go farther. Any ideas?

I would have to say take her to the spa before her wedding day to help relax her. Help her with the scheduling, accompany her to appointments to look at halls, flowers, food, etc (if hubby cant).
Keep telling her how proud you are of her, and that you are truly thankful that she chose you to be a part of her special day. ASk her what she wants you to help with.
*Go shopping with her to find dresses for her and the bridesmaids.
*Help her with addressing invitations, or putting together favors.
*It is your job to plan and throw the Bachelorette party/Bridal Shower.
*I know it sounds funny, but you have to help keep track of the bridesmaids, and make sure they will have the things they need for the wedding such as apparel, get to the place on time etc.
* Be there for her- she is just going to need someone to talk to , lay her head on their shoulder, support her etc, she is going to be so overwhelmed that she is going to need a neutral person that is going to be there for her and only her. To calm her down basically. She will most likely just want to talk to you.
*Dont let people worry her. If there are problems on her wedding day- keep her away from them and try to get them fixed before she notices.
Above all, just be her friend. She is going to need it!

I was the maid-of-honor for a friend of mine and it is hard work. At the wedding I kept apologizing to her because I felt that I didn't do anything wonderful except be there when she needed someone, even just to hear her vent. And apparently, that's all she wanted because she said she couldn't have done it without me. Just be there for your sister and it'll mean much more than anything else.

Plan a great Stagette, strippers, dinner, go to a spa for treatments or take a trip and rent a hotel room. Help her find the bridesmaid dresses, shoes, jewelry and shoes. Plan her shower with lots of fun games. Have a fun girls day and get treatments at a spa to relax before the wedding. Make her a scrapbook of the couple before they were married. Have a sex toy or lingerie party with all the young girls.

To the extreme? It's great that you're sisters because my advice to be a stellar maid of honor is to tell your mom, his mom, and anyone else that starts pressuring her to do things their way to back off! That will be a huge help to her.

Basically, you're her personal assistant until her wedding sweety. The most important thing that -you- have to have is the patients of a saint..... She'll be very stressed and so will you be so just take a deep breath and take everything as it comes and remember... It's only once (You hope)

Let her vent to you. Brides get extremely stressed, even when there's nothing specific going on for the wedding. Let her know that you're willing to listen to her vent, no matter how ridiculous it is. Also, make yourself available to help with anything she asks for help with. She'll probably feel better knowing you're willing to do whatever, even if she doesn't end up needing you to do anything.
