Maid of Honor
She's your BFF and will definitely be by your side at the alter, but what else does the Maid of Honor do? Of course she fluffs the Bride's dress and keeps her sane throughout the wedding day, but there are tons of other responsibilities that come along with the glamour of being the brides bestie.

* Plan and host the bridal shower and bachelorette party (get your creative juices flowing because you will need it!)
*Witness and sign the marriage certificate
* Puts together and emergency kit for bridal party (minimergency kits are cute and always come in handy)

*Holds groom's ring during ceremony
*Helps assemble invitations and wedding favors
*Gives speech/toast at reception
* Gives bride a shower and wedding gift
*Helps bride whenever she can and ties loose ends
Bridesmaids
Bridesmaids usually consist of the bride's closest friends, family and the groom's siblings/cousins. Always remember bridesmaids should be DEPENDABLE !
*Helps maid of honor/bride whenever they can

MOST OF ALL FOR THE ENTIRE WEDDING PARTY : BE A SUPPORT SYSTEM !

She will need you in more ways than you could possibly imagine!
