Good luck, it's a big job but fun!

Yeah we had lunch today and went over a little of this stuff. I'm not looking forward to the "fielding complaints" part though. LOL. We will be choosing dresses with her future sister in law, but I'd like to think that I know most of the bridesmaids well enough to choose something that they can agree on.

I know that I'm going to the bachelorette party and another bridesmaid wants to take the lead on the shower.

When I was a MOH, I lucked out because my cousin gave us folders containing specific stuff she wanted us to do. Thankfully it wasn't Bridezilla-ish at all. Most of it consisted of picking up stuff, meeting at a designated time to help make favors, arrange flowers, etc.

In addition to the info OtterXO provided, I'd suggest having a comfortable pair of shoes/flip flops for her wedding day when not in the ceremony and reception. When my cousin got married, she needed this and she needed that. If I had to run around like a madwoman in my heels that day, I would have quit.

I was recently asked to be the MOH for a sorority sister's wedding.

I found this article from TheKnot.com really really helpful.

I'm sooooo excited!
