The Maid/Matron of Honor's Checklist         Print this page

Packing for The Wedding Day

If for some reason you do not have a Wedding Coordinator to help you remember all of those little, but necessary things, we have typed up a check list for the wedding party and an Emergency Kit list to help you pack for your wedding day.

The Maid/Matron of Honor is specially chosen by the Bride to stand beside her on her wedding day. But the Bride also chooses her because she trusts her, and knows that she is dependable, and she can rely on her to be beside her for every event leading up to the wedding day. The Maid/Matron of Honor's #1 responsibility is to keep the Bride from falling apart until she walks down the aisle!

    Before the Wedding
  • Help address invitations and decorate favors
  • Plan the Bride's shower and Bachelorette party THE WEDDING DAY
  • Help make sure the Bride has packed everything she needs for the wedding and honeymoon
  • Help the Bride with her dress, train and veil
  • Hold the Groom's ring during the ceremony
  • In charge of getting the Bride's going away outfit to the reception
  • Sign the marriage license
  • Offer a toast at the reception
  • Help the Bride change and escape on time after the reception
    After the Wedding
  • Take the Bride's dress to the cleaners or to her home after the wedding
  • Mail the wedding announcements to the newspaper
