While the extravagance of some weddings may compel their guests to purchase pricey gifts, it is not necessary to do so. In general the maid of honor was chosen because she is one of the bride's closest friend and her duties as a maid of honor do not differ that much from her duties as a friend.
Hosting the bridal shower and the bachelorette party are two of the main responsibilities of the maid of honor. One exciting theme idea that is both elegant and sophisticated is a tea party theme. If you are planning a bridal shower for your friend who will be going to Hawaii on her honeymoon, why not make is a Hawaiian theme, as well as the attire.
Another tip for writing your wedding vows is to make sure the vows are written well before your wedding date. Any of the guests at the rehearsal dinner are also free to offer a toast or a few words of wisdom to the couple. A bus is another popular way for the entire wedding party to arrive at the reception.
Traditional bridesmaid's gifts such as jewelry and jewelry boxes are always welcomed but if you have a large group of friends and most of them will be bridesmaids several more times as more of your friends get married it might be nice to give your bridesmaids a gift that is unique. Small gestures such as reserving a block of hotel rooms or putting together a list of tourist attractions as well as more significant gestures such as preparing welcome baskets and making an extra effort to spend time with your out of town guests all contribute to making your out of town guests feel appreciated and welcomed.
