Supporting the Bride Emotionally

The journey to the wedding day is often a whirlwind of emotions for the bride. As Maid of Honour, one of your primary responsibilities is to provide the emotional support she needs. Whether she’s experiencing excitement, anxiety, or a mix of both, you’ll be her steady hand. The Maid of Honour Guide will equip you with tips for offering a listening ear, helping her stay organised, and providing calming support during stressful moments.

Your role goes beyond just the wedding day itself. Make sure the bride knows you’re available at any time—whether it’s to offer encouragement, distract her with a fun activity, or just lend an ear when she needs to vent. These small but meaningful moments of support are crucial and will make a big difference.

Planning the Hen Party

One of the most exciting tasks as Maid of Honour is planning the hen party!

Start by gathering input from the bride and the bridal party. Are there any must-do activities the bride has always dreamed of? Once you have a sense of what she enjoys, start narrowing down the options based on your budget and logistics. From intimate weekends to high-energy nights out, The Maid of Honour Guide offers helpful advice on how to plan a party that will exceed everyone’s expectations.
