There are so many decisions when you decide to wed from church wedding decorations ideas to choose from to helping the groom’s mother decide among mother of groom dresses. One of the most difficult parts for a wedding party is the process of choosing someone to be the “best” on your wedding. Women may have this slightly easier since they can choose to have a Matron of Honor or a Maid of Honor, but still, making such decision is really difficult.

So what are the tips?

For the Ladies

Women often feel pressure especially if it has something to do with the selection of the ‘bestest’ friend to serve as a Matron or Maid of honor during the wedding. Naturally, women feel like they are leaving other friends or hurt the feelings of the others. But, one should realize that the wedding party calls for an enormous duty. Before and during the wedding, the Matron of Honor has so many things to do. So you should choose someone who can handle this job effectively.

So if you’re the bride, you can consider choosing a member from your family; however, you can choose another person if you wish. You might want to include them in the party, but if you want to honor your really close friend then you can do so.

You need to select someone who is not very busy or committed to work. It’s also great to select someone who just lives in the town where you will be getting married. You want to have someone who can be available for you and help you with the arrangements even you’re out of town. Selecting a Matron or Maid of Honor who is not financially burdened is necessary too. You don’t want to stretch her since you’ll both be dealing with showers, gowns, bachelorette parties, and gifts that cost a lot of money.

For the Men

Just the same with selecting the Maid or Matron of Honor, you don’t want to only select someone who ‘should’ be the Best Man on your wedding party. This should be the friend you can count on who can help you plan the bachelor party and keep the groomsmen with the schedule. So if your best friend fits this position, then it is definitely easy for you. Again, don’t select an individual who is too busy or is financially strapped.

It is an important decision to be picking someone who will serve as the right hand person during your wedding party. Though you consider your choice to be the right person, sometimes he declines the offer due to some work. In this situation, you will have to select another one who fits this duty.
