Have your Maid of Honor speech personally written for you by a professional. Why not? And you might be surprised to know that it will not cost you the earth!

If you really want the BEST Maid of Honor speech ever I recommend going to somewhere like Elance.com where you can hire a professional speech writer who will write a unique speech especially tailored to suit your own sense of style and humor.

A Quick Glance at How Elance works

1.  You post your job, for example: “Professional speech writer wanted to write Maid of Honor speech

2.  Elance providers put up bids for doing your job, quoting their price and the how much time it will take to completion of the project. You can view the profiles of all the providers to select the person most suited for the job. At any time up till this point you may decide to cancel the proposal with no cost to yourself.

3.  If you do decide to accept one of the bids you will transfer the funds to Elance who holds the money in Escrow until such time as the job has been completed to your satisfaction by the provider of your choice. I recommend paying approximately $35 for a quality provider who will write an excellent speech for you and I am sure you will be pleased with the result.

I have worked with Elance professionals in the past and always been pleased with the results. If you decide to treat yourself and have a personal Maid of Honor speech written I would love to hear how it turns out.

Leave me a message or post any questions you might have in the comments area.

Posted: Matron of Honor

I’m a Matron of honor in a wedding. The maid of honor and I was planning the bridal shower and bachelorette party. Our plans were to have the all five us (matron, maid and 3 bridemaids) pitch in financially to make this a wonderful event. Is this a bad plan or is the matron and maid responsible financially for the bash?
I have been in 3 weddings and with all 3 everyone in the bridal party pitched in. Noone was left with all of the responsibility because we all wanted to bride to have a nice party. We all pitched in and helped. I’m also married and my bridal party did the same for me no certain person was left planning and paying. I just feel like everyone pitching in is alot stressful both planning and financially, and even though I’m the matron of honor the maid and bridemaids are the bride’s sisters and they are the ones not willing to pitch in and make this a great event. I myself isn’t financially able to pay for the entire bash so I really don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do for the bride and not cost a great deal?

When I was the MOH, I split the cost of the caterer with all the girls, but I paid for the decorations, favors, etc by myself. However I had a reason for doing this, I didnt want to have to OK anything with anyone, if I paid everything was my decision and I had been planning that shower since we were in High School, so I wanted total control over the party.

If you dont mind making it a democracy where everyone gets a say then yes, everyone can split the bill for everything shower related. Dont go crazy though, we had our shower at a nice catering hall witha buffet lunch, and it cost each girl $128 to throw (again I paid for the rest), so it worked within each girls budget. Keep it in mind the girls fincial statuses may not be as good as yours, so be sure to check with each girl personally (not in front of everyone) how much they can afford.

What’s the difference between a maid of honor and matron of honor?

There is only one difference. A maid of honor is a woman who is single and not married. A matron of honor is a woman who is married. They both have the same duties and responsibilities, it’s just if they are married or not.

Maid of Honor Duties

Posted: Maid of Honor Duties

 I have created this Maid of Honor checklist to help you make sure you know exactly what your Maid of Honor duties are going to be.

This is certainly an honor to have been chosen as Maid of Honor and to be able to enjoy the occasion you must be organized. Consider yourself the ‘glue that holds the stuff together!’ In basic terms you will be everywhere from behind the scenes preparing and primping to the very forefront of meeting, greeting and seating, plus let’s not forget the Maid of Honor Speeches.

Every wedding is different and so your role will vary. You may have a very minor role if the Bride has arranged to hire a wedding planner or her Mother is highly involved and you may have a central role nothing short of wedding planner and Mother all wrapped into one wonderful Maid of Honor. Your Maid of Honor Duties are certainly not something to be taken lightly.

The Maid of Honor Checklist

“Take a look over the checklist so you know what your Maid of Honor duties should be and then discuss with the Bride and clarify what duties she is expecting from you”

 

  1. Hen Party or Bachellorette Party
  2. Shopping for and choosing the wedding dress, bridesmaid dresses together as the Bride wishes
  3. You will be in charge of co-ordinating the other bridesmaid duties, bridesmaid etiquette and liaise with the Best Man
  4. Bridal shower to be arranged by you with assistance of bridesmaids and possibly Mother of the Bride
  5. Arrange the Bride’s train if she has one and double check she looks her best for photos ie. no lipstick on teeth etc
  6. Hold the Bride’s bouquet during ceremony
  7. Sign as witness on the marriage license
  8. Dance at wedding usually with the Best Man
  9. Toast the Bride and Groom
  10. Personalize the honeymoon suite with scented candles, champagne, chocolates, rose petals etc.
As you can see, Maid of Honor duties are not for the faint hearted and whilst performing all these duties you must also be sure to look your best as you will be in almost all the photos and you may even need to help the photographer getting everyone in place, but you will do great and I know this because your best friend or sister would not have asked you if she did not have every faith that you will be the best at all these Maid of Honor duties.
If you keep a note-book handy and jot down funny experiences along the way, whilst trying on dresses or choosing flowers, you will usually find that these go a long way to creating great Maid of Honor speeches.
Have fun!
