You're reading The Maid of Honor Handbook

A maid of honor is the person the couple chooses to lead the wedding party and support them through planning and the wedding day. The role usually covers helping with tasks the couple assigns, hosting or co-hosting the shower, and a toast at the reception, though every couple sets its own expectations.

Quick answer

The Wedding Checklist PDF ($9) is the couple's planning file, with an owner column for every task, so everyone can see which jobs are yours; it is not a maid of honor guide and has no speech or shower templates. The free next step is the printable wedding checklist: mark the tasks the couple has asked you to own and write a date beside each.

What is the free next step?

Print the free wedding checklist and sit down with the couple. Mark the tasks they want you to own, such as dress fittings, the shower or the wedding-week errands, and write a date beside each one. That one sheet keeps you from guessing what is yours.

If the couple wants one shared plan, the free wedding planner builder makes a dated working plan in the browser. It asks for an email address to open, and anyone can unsubscribe at any time.

What does the $9 Wedding Checklist PDF add?

The Wedding Checklist PDF is the couple's planning file: a 104-row editable checklist with owner, date, dependency and status columns, and a separate wedding-week tracker. It suits a maid of honor helping a couple who plan the wedding themselves, because every task can carry a named owner.

It is not a maid of honor guide. It has no speech templates, shower plans or bachelorette ideas; the book is the whole of what we have on the role. All four planning tools come together as the Dream Wedding Operations Suite for $39.

  • ✓ 104-row editable checklist with an owner for every task
  • ✓ Wedding-week handoff tracker
  • ✓ No speech, shower or bachelorette templates

How do readers use the book and the free tools together?

Readers use the book for the role and the free checklist for the tasks. One printed sheet with your name beside each task the couple has handed you is the simplest record of what is yours.

Close to the day, the wedding day timeline guide helps with the morning-of schedule: hair and makeup order, photos and when the wedding party needs to be ready.

  • ✓ Book: the role, the shower, the toast
  • ✓ Free checklist: the tasks that are yours, with dates
  • ✓ Wedding day timeline guide: the morning-of schedule

Questions couples ask

Frequently asked questions

Is there a maid of honor product on this site?

No. The book is the whole of what we have on the role. The paid files are wedding planning tools for the couple; none contains a speech template, shower plan or bachelorette ideas.

How do I know which tasks are mine?

Ask the couple, then write it down. Print the free checklist, mark each task they want you to own and put a date beside it. A named owner on every task is what stops jobs falling between people.

Should I buy the checklist for the couple?

Only if they are planning the wedding themselves and want an editable list. Ask first; many couples already have a planner or their own list, and the free printable checklist may be all you need.
