Has it really been 7 years? You are my true friend that's always stuck by me
thru all those years. Good times and bad times, and i'm so happy that you'll
stand at my wedding. I love you so much!
I pulled a list together of all that is usually taken care of by the maid of honor.
I realize the list isn't any where close to being short - so I can split
up the responsibilities between my bridesmaid's also.
I’m going to need a lot of help addressing
invitations. It’s guna be a pain in the ass,
but it’s got to be done.
There are 6 girls (including yourself) that
need to try on those dresses at Dillard’s.
We need to figure out what sizes every body
needs. Basically I need you to make sure the
girls do that before I place the order. I
would say any time in February, but no later
then the end of that month. I don’t want to
do it much sooner then that because weight
gain or loss may cause a problem.
As noted before – The money & size for your
dress is due by the end of February.
I haven’t decided yet if I want wedding favors
or not. It’s not a very important or necessary
part of the wedding, and by not having them
will certainly save money! But, If we chose to
do wedding/party favors please help me out.
As Maid Of Honor your sworn duty is to throw
one hell of a kick ass bachelorette party.
So do an out standing job!
Arrange with my sister the bridal shower.
(Include other bridesmaids if you wish)
I’ll supply the guest list & addresses.
I believe bridal showers usually take place
around 2 months before the wedding.
But really, it’s your call.
I don’t think it’s going to be very easy,
but some how you and I need to keep record
of what gifts came from who at the bridal
shower. Tape cards onto gifts – it’ll be
easier for john and I to write thank you notes.
Attend the Bridal Luncheon – Ok, well, you
don’t have to…. But I’ll be quite disappointed
if you don’t.
Attend rehearsal and dinner. (That’s a must)
As of this moment we’re planning on having a
simple home cooked dinner that I will ask my
mother’s to do. I’m also going to ask all my
girls to bring a dish to share.
Things may change according to budget… but I
doubt it.
I will be a horrible bride. I am going to be
extremely nervous and clumsy. So I’m relying
on you to be there to slap me in the face when
I get out of hand. I’ve had 4 nightmares of this
happening already.
I’m not sure if I will ask all the bridesmaids
to sleep over at a hotel with me the night
before the wedding, or not. But if not, please
make sure all of the girls arrive on time the
day of the wedding.
(I’m already nervous about that)
There’s these good luck thing brides go for on
their wedding day. It’s a cute little poem that
goes
“Some thing old, some thing new, some thing
borrowed, some thing blue”
I think I’ll ask my grandma for some thing old
to carry down the aisle
My wedding dress is the some thing new
My garter is the some thing blue
- but I think that some thing borrowed means
true friendship. So, If you could bring me some
thing to barrow that day. That would be awesome.
I’ll give you John’s wedding ring the day before,
or morning of the wedding. Hold on to that if you
can until I need it when John and I exchange
rings.
I’ll probably mess myself up by the time I meet
John at the alter, if I do, please fix my veil
and then hold my bouquet. – Then hand me back my
bouquet right before Mr. Bennett announces
“Mr. & Mrs. John & Elizabeth Videc)
Sign the wedding certificate as our witness.
Stand in the receiving line at the Reception
Prepare for the Maid Of Honor Toast. Try not to
make me cry.
John and I are going to have the “traditional”
dollar dance. Vallo (the best man) will be
holding some thing to collect John’s money, I
need you to hold my purse to collect the money
from people who dance with me.
I don’t know if you understand how difficult
wedding dresses can be, but I will need your help
when I change into my going away outfit after the
reception.
last but not least - pamper me like a baby!!!
haha...ok, fine. maybe not.
