Thank Your Attendants For All They've Done - Purchase Them a Gift

Being asked to participate in someone's wedding as a bridesmaid or groomsman is an honor and a gift in itself. However, it is also a responsibility.

After purchasing their dresses or renting their tuxedos, attending pre-wedding parties and showers, and taking part in the rehearsal, your attendants will stand up and witness your joy as you are married.

Maid of Honor Serves as Hostess for the Wedding Shower

As the host or hostess for a pre-wedding party, you are basically planning a party that anticipates an even bigger party - the wedding reception.

Traditionally, the maid of honor serves as hostess for at least one pre-wedding shower. Co-workers, female relatives of the bride and groom or other close friends who are not in the wedding party, are welcome to throw additional showers. The mothers of the bride and groom do not serve as hostesses but they may help out behind the scenes.
