Maid Of Honor The activities of the maid of honor may be as many or as varied as she allows the bride to impose upon her. Her only required duty is to participate in the wedding ceremony. Typically, however, she is asked for help with the logistics of the wedding as an event, such as addressing invitations, and for her help as a friend, such as attending the bride as she shops for her wedding dress. On the day of the wedding, her principal duty is to provide practical and emotional support. Back To Wedding Party Responsibilities
