Wondering how to determine
the number of attendants and
who they will be? Before
asking everyone you know,
consider the size of the overall
wedding, its location and your
budget. Remember, the more
attendants, the more bouquets,
boutonnieres and gifts to buy.
Beverly Clark, author of
Planning A Wedding To
Remember, gives us a detailed
list of the wedding party
members and defines their
duties:
Maid or Matron of Honour
Brides usually choose a maid
or matron of honour they feel
close to: a sister or best friend.
If you're having a large
wedding you may want both --
a married sister for the matron,
and an unmarried sister or
friend for the maid of honour.
Your maid or matron of
honour is indispensable and a
big help throughout your
planning and ceremony. Her
customary duties include the
following:
• Helps the bride with Tots of
details such as addressing
envelopes, making favours
and helping with the
shopping.
• Pays for her own wedding
attire.
• Alone, or with bridesmaids,
has a showier for the bride
(optional).
• Helps organize the
bridesmaids with their fittings
and on the wedding day.
• Keeps the groom's ring until
the appropriate time in the
ceremony, when she
exchanges it for the bride's
bouquet.
• Assists the bride in dressing
before the ceremony and at
the reception before the bride
leaves.
• Signs the wedding certificate
as a legal witness.
• Assists the bride with the
train and veil at the altar.
• Is a member of the receiving
line and,is seated in a place of
honour at the reception.
