Bridezillas And Hating Bridesmaids: 10 Things You Shouldn’t Say Or Do When You’re Planning Or Participating In A Wedding

Be Upfront About Who You Want To Be Your Maid of Honor Early

Who knew the maid of honor title was so deep? After watching an episode of Say Yes To The Dress: Bridesmaids, I witnessed a childhood friend run to a bathroom and break down in tears when the bride-to-be waited until the last minute (while picking out what the bridesmaids were going to wear and on camera mind you) to figure out who would be the MOH. By throwing that on them during the fitting, all hell broke loose and everybody ended up stressed.

Save that for another time, and get it out of the way early. Let the MOH know that you would like them to take on the responsibilities that come with that before it’s time to start buying dresses and coming up with ideas for parties, and do it at a time where if you have to, you can explain why you picked your choice to all bridesmaids involved who might have questions. Throwing that on folks when you know you have several people who would love to stand by you as MOH comes off messy.
