Not sure what you\u2019re in for? Don\u2019t panic, we can help! While we\u2019re not going to sugar coat it \u2013 the title may feel like more of a horror than an honor at times \u2013 but it\u2019s definitely worth it! Sharing in a friend\u2019s, or a sister\u2019s, or somebody else\u2019s special moment is very rewarding. It can be even more rewarding when you know what you\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019ve known the bride for a long time or just met her yesterday, weddings can turn even the most well-mannered brides into stressed bridezillas. Not to mention that the heat of a summer wedding has its own added challenges. Read on for some tips and tricks for surviving even the most difficult of weddings!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_783634288.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_783634288.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_783634288.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_783634288-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_80 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/maid-honors-survival-guide-summer-wedding-season\/#Bridal_Showers_Bachelorettes_and_Jack_and_Jills\" >Bridal Showers, Bachelorettes, and Jack and Jill\u2019s<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/maid-honors-survival-guide-summer-wedding-season\/#Bonding_and_Relaxation\" >Bonding and Relaxation<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/maid-honors-survival-guide-summer-wedding-season\/#Survival_Kit_for_the_Big_Day\" >Survival Kit for the Big Day<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/2018\/03\/maid-honors-survival-guide-summer-wedding-season\/#Be_Supportive\" >Be Supportive!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bridal_Showers_Bachelorettes_and_Jack_and_Jills\"><\/span>Bridal Showers, Bachelorettes, and Jack and Jill\u2019s<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Surprise! In case you didn\u2019t know, the maid of honor is usually responsible for organizing or co-hosting some kind of pre-wedding event. Already more work than you thought? Don\u2019t panic just yet. We recommend having a conversation with the bride before you get down and dirty planning a big surprise event. If you\u2019ve known the bride for a long time and have had many conversations about each detail of your future weddings, then maybe you\u2019re confident you know exactly what she wants. In that case, go right ahead and start planning the surprise!<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t know the bride-to-be that well or simply aren\u2019t the type to talk weddings, now is the time! Ask her what she wants, what she doesn\u2019t want, and whether or not she\u2019s okay with surprises. This can save you both a lot of headache and heartache. There\u2019s nothing worse than putting time and effort into planning something the bride never wanted in the first place. Maybe the bride you\u2019re dealing with is a self-proclaimed control freak and actually already has the pre-wedding event planned out. Phewf! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_533023915.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_533023915.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_533023915.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_533023915-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bonding_and_Relaxation\"><\/span>Bonding and Relaxation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Planning a wedding is stressful. As the maid of honor, it\u2019s your job to relieve some of the stress. This can include offering to help by taking on some of the organizing tasks, but it can also mean just being there for the bride. Suggest that the two of you sign-up for a yoga class that runs once a week. Exercise not only helps to de-stress, it will also keep you fit. That way you\u2019ll both look and feel great in your dresses when the big day finally rolls around!<\/p>\n<p>If yoga isn\u2019t your thing, then choose something that is. You can book a spa day, or schedule weekly coffee dates. If the bride is planning on a summer wedding then maybe go for hikes in the spring or plan a road trip to the beach! If she turned down the suggestion of a big pre-wedding party then maybe she\u2019ll prefer one of these bonding activities for just you two and the other bridesmaids. While it\u2019s true that being a bridesmaid can be a lot of work, it can also be a lot of fun! Be proactive and you\u2019ll have nothing to worry about!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_465660293.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_465660293.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_465660293.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_465660293-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Survival_Kit_for_the_Big_Day\"><\/span>Survival Kit for the Big Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The day of the wedding is exciting! Hair and makeup in the morning with the girls is one of the best parts! While it\u2019s true that the day might run smoothly without any bumps in the road, it\u2019s important to always be prepared! In case you haven\u2019t heard of a maid of honor survival kit, it\u2019s a good idea to put one together in advance. <\/p>\n<p><b>Here are some things to include in your survival kit:<\/b><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mini sewing kit: For wardrobe malfunctions.<\/li>\n<li>Medicine and first aid: Band-aids, pain reliever, eye drops, and allergy medicine for unexpected headaches and other injuries. What a time to be feeling sick!<\/li>\n<li>Deodorant and baby powder: It\u2019s a long day in the hot sun, someone\u2019s sure to need it! It can also help with chaffing and scratchy beaded dresses.<\/li>\n<li>Hair brush, curling irons, bobby pins, hair elastics, and hairspray: For dealing with flyaways and adding volume to deflated dos. Hair elastics can be necessary for those especially hot summer days!<\/li>\n<li>Clear nail polish: Stop stocking runs right away!<\/li>\n<li>Portable stain remover and white chalk: For unfortunate spills.<\/li>\n<li>Snacks, water, and extra money: In case someone gets hungry or dehydrated. Money in case the bride decides she absolutely can\u2019t wait for dinner and needs food right now!<\/li>\n<li>Mints, toothbrush, and toothpaste: For when guests won\u2019t stop banging the cutlery to see the newlyweds kiss!<\/li>\n<li>Comfortable shoes: For both you and the bride! Taking pictures is a killer!<\/li>\n<li>Tissues: For all the happy tears!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_664761526.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_664761526.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_664761526.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_664761526-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Be_Supportive\"><\/span>Be Supportive!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Images of green grass, bright flowers, and kissing on the beach at sunset usually come to mind when people think of summer weddings. However, there are some things that the guests just don\u2019t consider. Like will the flowers wilt and the food sweat in the hot sun? Are the bridesmaids and groomsmen sweating under their beautiful gowns and handsome suits? What\u2019s it like to take pictures for several hours while everyone else eats hors-d&#8217;oeuvres and drinks cocktails? <\/p>\n<p>As the maid of honor, you\u2019ll witness all of this first hand. It can seem like a lot, but the right attitude can make it more fun than it sounds. Remember that this is the bride\u2019s day, so try to make it as easy on her as possible. News flash: she\u2019s never done this before either! It\u2019s hard to know what to expect, regardless of how long you\u2019ve been planning. Be supportive and keep a positive attitude!<\/p>\n<p>If the bride has taken the lead on most things leading up to the wedding, she might need you to manage a bit more on the big day. While she\u2019s off taking photos with her new husband, help organize the bridesmaids in preparation for guests to arrive at the reception. While she\u2019s giving her speech, hand tissues to her crying mother. While she\u2019s mingling with her guests, grab her a glass of water. But most importantly, be a loving friend!<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to think about, but try to keep in mind the big picture: the day is about celebrating! Don\u2019t get caught up in all the little things. The bride will know if you\u2019re stressed out and it can affect her mood too. Nothing\u2019s perfect and this day likely won\u2019t be either. Just roll with it! When you stop worrying about every little thing, you\u2019ll start having more fun and so will she! It will likely be an exciting day filled with happy tears. Not only for the bride but for you as well!<\/p>\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Are you helping to plan the bride\u2019s summer wedding?
