A multi-faceted role,\u00a0taking on\u00a0Maid of Honor duties requires you to act as the bride&#8217;s go-to person for just about every wedding-related thing there is. Let&#8217;s take a look at 11 steps that will ensure you rock it!<\/p>\n<h3>1) Play Offensive at the Reception<\/h3>\n<p>Great Uncle Joe is a talker. The bride doesn\u2019t have 45 minutes to discuss the price of milk in the 1930s, but guess what, Maid of Honor? You do. On the plus side, no one will blame you for being the drunkest\u00a0person at the end of the night&#8211;you&#8217;ve listened to everyone&#8217;s relatives drone on. And on.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Provide the Mother of the Bride With a Chill Pill<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever form this &#8220;chill pill&#8221; takes&#8230;well, we won&#8217;t question you. She&#8217;s stressed out, and has subsequently stressed everyone else out.<\/p>\n<h3>3) Leave Dad Alone<\/h3>\n<p>Men usually need time to process things on their own, and while Mom may be bawling, Dad is probably internalizing everything. So if he goes in a room by himself, just leave him be.<\/p>\n<h3>4) Don&#8217;t Forget the Mother of the Groom<\/h3>\n<p>Often overlooked at weddings, mothers of the groom are watching their babies get married\u00a0too. Be sure to give the Mother of the Groom\u00a0a hug at the reception!<\/p>\n<h3>5) Bring a Blow Dryer<\/h3>\n<p>The &#8220;Swiss Army Knife of weddings,&#8221; blow dryers are ideal for touching up hair, drying nails quickly, and drying water\/champagne\/liquor stains on dresses. Other wedding day survival items to bring include a sewing kit, band-aids, tissues, scissors, tweezers, mints, safety pins and a nail file.<\/p>\n<h3>6) Remind the Bride to Print Out a List of Photos She Wants<\/h3>\n<p>The photographer doesn\u2019t know the bride met the groom at a baseball game and want to have a photo of them having a catch. Suggest the bride make a list of all the inside jokes\u00a0and family poses she wants, otherwise they will not happen. Think about all\u00a0every possible combination beforehand, have her write them down, and bring the list with you. She&#8217;ll definitely thank you for it!<\/p>\n<h3>7) Remember to Have a Sense of Humor About the Ring Bearer and Flower Girl<\/h3>\n<p>Kids do and say the darndest things, right? So let them do what they do. If the ring bearer needs a candy bribe to make it down the aisle, or the flower girl wants her daddy with her, just go with it.<\/p>\n<h3>8) Transportation, Transportation, Transportation<\/h3>\n<p>How is the wedding party getting from the hotel to the ceremony venue? The reception? What about the parents? You&#8217;ll definitely need to work all this out beforehand!<\/p>\n<h3>9) Create an Awesome Playlist<\/h3>\n<p>Create a slumber party vibe when everyone is getting ready, only with mimosas. Bring snacks,\u00a0make a sweet playlist, and have plenty of magazines handy. There&#8217;s going to be\u00a0a lot\u00a0of downtime as everyone takes turns putting on makeup and getting their hair done.<\/p>\n<h3>10) Make Sure the Bride Eats<\/h3>\n<p>Breakfast, snacks&#8230;she needs to eat! Have her drink fluids through a straw so she won&#8217;t smear her lipstick. This will prevent her from getting drunker-than-drunk at the reception.<\/p>\n<h3>11) Don&#8217;t Send the Couple Off With Sparklers. Just Don&#8217;t.<\/h3>\n<p>It may look adorable on Pinterest, but we&#8217;re literally talking about giving drunk people explosives. Not the bestest idea ever!<\/p>\n<p>Keep these tips in mind and rock that wedding, missy!<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/pre-wedding-parties\/how-to-be-the-perfect-maid-of-honor-our-maid-of-honor-checklist\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/247401184_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/247401184_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/pre-wedding-parties\/how-to-be-the-perfect-maid-of-honor-our-maid-of-honor-checklist\" target=\"_blank\">How to Be the Perfect Maid of Honor: Our Maid of Honor Checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-speeches-and-toasts\/wedding-speeches-the-definitive-guide-for-who-says-what\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/256087314_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/256087314_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-speeches-and-toasts\/wedding-speeches-the-definitive-guide-for-who-says-what\" target=\"_blank\">Wedding Speeches.
