You may already know you want to go with All Dolled Up makeup services. You might also have a few ideas for wedding hair and makeup. Your DJ and cater might already be picked out. Your list of bridesmaids may be on a list in your office. However, one vital piece of the wedding puzzle may be missing — the maid of honor. How do you select, though, when they’re all your friends and family?
Consider Delegating a Family Member
You can easily hurt feelings when you’re selecting your maid of honor. Every one of your friends may want that position and feel offended or disappointed when they find out they’re not selected. You can avoid hurting feelings and still have a maid of honor you can depend on when you select a family member.
Keep in mind that you may not always be friends with the same person for life, but you’ll forever be family with your cousin or sister.
Make Your Decision Financially
You aren’t responsible for paying for the maid of honor’s dress. If you can’t afford it, you don’t have to pay for your maid of honor’s hair or accessories, either. Your maid of honor may be responsible for paying for a portion of the bachelorette party. These costs quickly add up.
Typically, a maid of honor may spend $1,500 or more. This isn’t feasible for everyone, and you don’t want to make the woman you select feel bad if she can’t afford it. Therefore, you should consider the financial situations of all of your prospective bride’s maids before you make a decision.
Someone You Mesh Well With
When you’re freaking out because you can’t find your garter, or the caterer just canceled on you, your emotions are going to run wild. You might scream, fuss, and fight, and you need someone who can calm you down and walk you through each stressful moment. As a result, it’s necessary to pick someone you can easily talk to and who excels at calming you down when you’re stressed.
Someone Who Can Handle the Responsibility
You may feel the maid of honor is just a title. However, this title comes with responsibilities. For example, this person needs to keep you calm. The woman will be giving a speech. She’s also going to be the one to plan your bachelorette party, among other responsibilities.
You don’t want to frustrate a friend or family member by giving them this major responsibility. Additionally, the maid of honor has a great deal of duties. If you select one that can’t handle them, you could find yourself quite stressed on the days coming up to your wedding. Essentially, you should think about which one of your friends has the most amount of time to take on this role.
If you’re unsure who has the time, contact your top pick and make sure they’re on board. If they aren’t, choose your next pick and give them a call. Continue this until you find the right one for you.
