I can tell you from experience as both a maid of honour and a future bride (getting married in August) the maid of honour does as much or as little as the bride wants. Traditionally the maid of honour is supposed to throw the bridal shower, and a bachelorette party if the bride is interested in having one. She also stands up for the bride at the wedding as a witness (which includes signing the marraige liscence) and sits at the head table at the reception, if it is a sit down meal. Other than that, she just does whatever the bride wants help with. My maid of honour hasn't helped much because i'd rather do everything myself. She will, however, be doing all the traditional duties i mentioned above, as i did the same for her. But its really all up to you. It's your day and you can decide what you want her to help you with.
FYI there are lots of sites out there that list traditional duties of various members of the wedding party. Google is a wonderful tool!

The MOH does host a bridal shower, along with keeping the bride on track - working side by side doing the invitations, being there when the decorations need to be hung, going with bride to pick out dress etc. there is alot of expenses and time commitment involved with being the MOH.

In terms of the actual planning part of the wedding, it depends really on how much help you'll need. For my wedding, my MOH hasn't really helped too much because there hasn't been too much to help with. I have a wedding planner who's helping me with all that. But, my MOH has been there with me to find my dress and keeping me sane throughout this whole process. She's also coordinating my bridal shower and bachelorette party. I just think the important thing is that she's always offering her assistance if needed. Good luck!

Traditionally the maid of honor throws the bride a shower. Maybe not necessarily paying for it all but at least organizing it. During the wedding day she is supposed to be at the brides side pretty much all of the time. Helping her in times of need, giving advice, running interference, things like that. Hope your wedding goes well and congratulations.

Your maid of honor is usually with you to look at your dress, help pick the Bridal Party's dress, help plan and host the Bridal Shower, help plan the Bachlorette Party, depending on the church or ceremony site stand with the Bride and keep tabs on the train of her dress, hold her flowers and support the bride in any way possible.

I'm also nineteen and my wedding is Saturday! Your maid of honor helps to keep you calm on the big day. She holds your husbands ring and your bouquet throughout your vows. She will help you with your dress. She goes with you to choose your dress and hers and for a lot of the shopping. She will probably help you to decorate. The maid of honor does throw your shower if you are having one. She is your support and your friend. Congratulations on your engagement!

My MOH planned my bachlorette and bridal party..also they are the one to walk down the aisle the last out of all your bridesmaids. They also hold your flowers while you exchange rings. You can do it however you want.

Yes. The maid is supposed to help to take stress away from you not cause you more. Tell her to get online and do some research as to what she should do. You need to relax and enjoy your day!

These guidelines discuss the general duties of the Best Man, Maid or Matron of Honor, and other Wedding Party members. Your Attendant's duties may vary more, or less, from this list. Please click on which one you need.
