Maid of Honor

The Maid of Honor is someone very special to the bride. The person entrusted with this most important title is generally a sister or very close friend. In other words, someone who the bride knows is equal to the task. Duties of the Maid of Honor include

• Accompanying the bride on shopping trips, especially when choosing a dress or veil
• Throwing the bridal shower if a family member is not already doing so
• Helping the bride to write out and address invitations, place cards, and other handwritten correspondence
• Coordinating the bridal gift given by the bridal party
• Accompanying the bride to the hairdresser or manicurist before the wedding
• Helping the bride to dress before the wedding
• Participating in the wedding processional
• Holding the groom’s wedding ring
• Helping to make sure the bride’s dress is positioned correctly throughout the ceremony
• Holding the bride’s flowers
• Participating in the receiving line
• Helping with the bustle
• Witnessing the marriage by signing the wedding certificate
• Dances with the best man at the wedding reception

Best Man

The Best Man is also someone special. He’s close to the groom, perhaps a trusty brother or best friend. His tasks include:

• Organizing the bachelor party
• Coordinating the couple’s gift from the groomsmen
• Assisting the groom in choosing his tuxedo
• Helping the groom to dress before the wedding
• Holding the bride’s wedding ring
• Witnessing the marriage by signing the wedding certificate
• Participating in the receiving line
• Toasting the happy couple at the wedding reception
• Dancing with the Maid of Honor at the wedding reception
• Returning the grooms tuxedo to the rental location
• Making sure the Happy Couple has transportation to the airport, hotel or honeymoon destination

Bridal Party Roles

Bridesmaids are also entrusted with important tasks. Their roles include:

• Attending the shower
• Contributing to bridal gifts
• Walking in the wedding processional
• Participating in the receiving line
• Dancing with groomsmen
• Mingling with the wedding guests

Groomsmen

Groomsmen, or ushers, have tasks similar to that of the bridesmaids. They include:

• Attending the bachelor party
• Contributing to gifts for the groom
• Seating wedding guests
• Unrolling the wedding runner, if one is used
• Walking in the wedding processional
• Participating in the receiving line
• Dancing with bridesmaids
• Mingling with the wedding guests

Flower Girl

Because the flower girl is usually a very young child, not much is expected. The flower girl will usually carry a basket of flowers during the wedding processional and may even toss wedding petals on the ground to mark the bride’s entrance.

Ring/Coin/Bible Bearer

Like the Flower Girl, the ring bearer is generally a young child and isn’t entrusted with too much responsibility. In most cases he’ll walk next to the Flower Girl during the wedding processional while holding a pillow on which the wedding rings are sewn/ coins or arras and bible.
