Her job is to put together the guest list comprised of close family and friends, normally just women are invited to the hen do. Your maid of honour will have to organise everything about the party so make sure to give this job to a friend who knows exactly what your tastes are to avoid any nasty surprises.
2. Choosing the wedding dress: Your maid of honour has to know you inside out and should know how to keep you on track.

So if you look like a meringue or the dress doesn't suit, she should be the one who can tell you honestly.
3. The maid of honour speech: If your maid of honour has a way with words and a good sense of humour, she might just be the right person to help write a little speech in your honour. You might not even have to ask her as it's tradition for the maid of honour to do this. Brief her with a list of topics you'd like her to include in the speech beforehand so that the speech resembles your wedding vows.
