What’s in Our Maid of Honor Planner?
We have a ton of pages you will find useful. We go above and beyond what the average planner provides. This planner is custom designed for the MOH. The planner starts with a comprehensive list of responsibilities and a timeline. Then throughout the content, you will find a bridal shower, wedding, and bridal shower quotes.
We will break this planner down into 5 parts. Then we will talk about each section in detail. The main parts of the maid of honor planner are calendar, attire, budget, events, and contacts. We have additional pages that you will find useful throughout this planner.
The final part we will include will be the extras section where we will talk about detailed pages regarding the bridal shower, bachelorette party, MOH speech and so much more.
Calendar
There is a monthly and weekly planner for the maid of honor. There are 12 un-dated monthly calendar pages to use with a spot for you to customized and make some notes for that month. There is also a list of responsibilities and a timeline to refer to throughout your journey as MOH.
There are multiple ways you could use these pages. Then it could double as a regular monthly calendar instead of the specific maid of honor planner. The best thing about this being a digital download is that you could re-use the sheets provided in this planner.
Contacts
You will need to know all of the bridesmaids of the wedding. Right after they accept their bridesmaid proposal gift, you could reach out to them as a group with an intro email or group DM on social media. That way you could get the ball rolling and start getting their contact information for future planning.
A vendor list is also a great thing to have on hand. Although the bride should have the wedding vendors covered, you may want to use some of the same vendors for the bridal shower or bachelorette party.
Some of the vendors you may want to save in your contacts are caterers, photographers, and designers. It is also good to have for birthdays, anniversaries, and other non-related wedding events.
Budget
Most wedding planners will provide a budget sheet for the couple, but we think it is important for the maid of honor to have one as well. The maid of honor duties really add up in expenses and this is a good way to keep track of what you are spending.
We also provide separate budget sheets for the bridal shower and the bachelorette party to keep you extra organized. We know that the bridal shower will be one of the biggest expenses, so we have specific categories to make the planning process as easy as possible.
Attire
The attire may seem that important but it is a crucial part of the wedding day. The maid of honor plays an important role in making sure the bridesmaids have their wedding attire.
Not only will you have to go wedding dress shopping with the bride, which could take a lot of time. But you also have to make sure the bridal party gets their dresses. Keep track of dress fittings and alterations with this spreadsheet.
There is a note section for extra information for bridesmaids wearing accessories like jewelry, headpieces, designer shoes, and more.
Events
Here is an event schedule for a quick glance at all the events you and the wedding party will need to attend. Here you will be able to document the location, date, and time of the engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party, bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, and more.
We also provides some extra spaces to add other less formal events like dress shopping or setting up wedding website tagging along with the couple for wedding cake testing.
The bride will not only need help with the bridesmaid’s wedding bio, but she will also need your help with the music for each event. You could jot down some romantic and upbeat songs for the engagement party and bridal shower.
Extras
There are so many other things that we’ve provided in this planner that are so good we want you to experience it yourself. Things like an item order tracker, wedding day checklist, maid of honor speech outline, wedding FAQ cheatsheet, guest lists, beauty organizer, and so much more.
