I'm going to let people know who mine is soon. But isn't this just work for someone to do? Which includes paying for things and taking responsibilities?

some people do enoy doing it and consider it an honor - that's why you should choose someone very close to you like a sister or your best friend

Well, the bride is responsible for most of the costs of the wedding. The matron of honor is responsble for her dress and accessories (unless you give accessories as a gift for participating in wedding), wedding gift, and bridal shower. The matron of honor's job is to help out with stuff such as addressing invitations, making wedding favors etc and keeping you calm on your wedding day. If you have other bridesmaids, I would ask them to help your maid of honor, so that she won't be burdened with everything.

I think it is an enjoyable job. It is not something that one is usually asked to do unless she is a very close friend of the bride's. I would not ask anyone who did not have extra money to spend though.
You can make it a little easier on her too. You need to ask the MOH first before you announce it. Let her decide how elaborate the shower and bachelorette party is going to be. That and helping you on your wedding day should be her only responsibilities. She is not meant to run all your errands for you in the weeks or months before the wedding. You can make this a very pleasant experience for both of you.
Good luck and best wishes on your engagement and upcoming wedding..

I would defintely let her know what she has to pay for and how much it cost upfront, also give her your ideas with what you want for hair, shoes, dresses, and also what you want and don't want for a shower/party. Trust me it will be better for you and her at the end, I just got married the begining of May and alot of my plans were last minute so we disagreed on a few thing, but if I would have told her upfront what she was getting into I think things would have went a lil better. Good Luck!!

There is a lot of work and money involved with being the maid of honor, but it means so much to the person you ask. It means you care for them enough to let them be part of one of the most important days of your lives. It means more than you think.

Of course there is a cost to being a matron/maid of honor. I was my sister's and HATED it. Mind you she was the biggest bridezilla I have ever seen so the experience sucked.

Sure they do. I didn't ask my MOH or bridesmaids to do "work" at all! I just wanted them as attendants, standing up for us and supporting us at the wedding. My family looked after the shower, etc., and bridesmaids helped when they wanted to.
I know from being on Answers that some brides 'require' lots of their MOH and bridesmaids, but I didn't do that at all!

I think most people consider it a "honor" I know that I did.
yes it was work but sooo much fun and if you pick the right person, they should just enhance your wonderful wedding day!!!

quite onestly i hated being the matron of honor in my ex-friends wedding.
i tried to plan a really nice shower for her as well as a really nice bacholorette party for her, but she decided to plan both on her own then prociede to tell me when and where each was going to take place.
she treated me like crap and like her slave.
never said thank you.
i was married first and she was insanley jealous of it

Most wedding stuff is a pain to most people. I can't understand why such nonsense continues.
