Although there are some responsibilities that the maid of honor takes on such as hosting the bridal shower and bachelorette party and helping to choose the bridesmaid's dresses, she is also just there to be supportive of the bride and to be a friend and confidant and to help her in any way possible. While floral arrangements have traditionally been the centerpiece of choice at many weddings there are many more original centerpiece ideas that are also very inexpensive.
It is important that everyone involved in the decision making process of the wedding understand just how much money is available to be spent on the wedding. Just because presents are involved, this should not make everything else about the occasion melt into the background. Many bands that perform at weddings have a set list that is typically not as long as the list of recorded music that the DJ has on hand.
Depending on the kind of bridal shower you are planning for the bride to be, it is imperative to communicate the propriety of attire to the shower guests. Even though the bride's parents are paying for the wedding, the couple may still opt for a simple wedding that does not put a financial strain on the parents. You may not be able to include all of your young friends or relatives as ring bearers or flower girls but you can give them each a task such as handing out wedding programs or bags of birdseed or placing the favors on the table at the reception.
While it is true that most catering halls have maximum occupancy restrictions as well, most of these commercial venues are capable of seating far more guests than even the most extravagant home. While it is important to speak from the heart, it's also important to make sure that no one who has really gone out of their way to assist the couple is left out of the thank you speech.
