So, for many people, having a maid of honor they can trust and talk to by their side throughout their engagement makes a world of difference.
On top of that, maids of honor often take on some of the more stressful responsibilities on your actual wedding day– allowing you to focus on celebrating and enjoying your nuptials in the present moment.
For instance, your maid of honor can coordinate with your vendors, keep track of your event timeline, and ensure that you are well-cared for amidst the wedding day chaos. Need to exit an uncomfortable guest conversation quickly or head to the bathroom for a makeup touchup? Just give a wave to your maid of honor and let them lead the way.
Simply knowing that someone will be looking out for you and your best interest on your big day will be very reassuring.
How Should You Go About Skipping Maid Of Honor Designation?
If you still end up choosing not to have a maid of honor, you don’t have to make this decision a big deal. But there are a few steps you can take to ensure there are no miscommunications or wedding day mishaps.
Primarily, speak with your bridal party to make sure that everyone is on the same page about their role on your wedding day. Run down who is responsible for what during the planning stage and what you expect from each person during your actual ceremony.
Additionally, it can be helpful to designate someone else– like a family member or wedding planner– to help you with the day-of coordination of your wedding.
Just remember that the decision to have a maid of honor is a very personal one that only you, as the bride, can decide. Don’t worry about what other guests might think or say; instead, just do what’s best for you and your partner, and prioritize your comfortability.
