Responsibility of the Maid of Honor
Being chosen as the Maid of Honor is just that, an honor. However, the job doesn’t end at giving a toast or holding the bride’s dress in the bathroom. The Maid of honor is usually the best friend or sister of the bride and has a vast amount of responsibilities from planning the bachelorette party to just being there for moral support.
