Man of Honor duties

I asked my best friend, who is male, to be my Maid (man) of Honor. He was utterly thrilled and is very excited to start helping. My question is, what can I have him do? He's very straight and married, so the bachelorette party is a little out of his understanding (his words). The bridal shower will be my only conservative affair (for grandparents’ sake) and I wouldn’t want to have him plan it and not attend. And he'll be doing his tux with FH groomsmen, so no bridesmaid dress shopping. I’m a little puzzled. I want him to feel special and he wants to participate so much.... what other MOH traditions or non-traditions, can he do? He’s such an important person in my life, I want him involved in as much as possible.

I too have a ManOH. I've mostly been bouncing ideas off of him just to get some perspective. And ranting...that's what besties are for, lol. He is going to be with me the entire day before and the day of the wedding, just to help run errands and do things as needed. I really am not delegating much to my female bridesmaids either. There was of course the dress shopping, and the shower (though FH's aunts hosted the shower for me). My ManOH is gay though, so he will be attending (but not planning) my bachelorette party this weekend. It's totally up to your guy if he wants to attend that (it may be awkward...especially if you're doing strippers or something haha)

Just wondering why he shouldn't attend the shower? I don't know who I'd want beside me more that day than my best friends and family. There's obviously a reason you wanted him to be your ManOH, right? Male or Female shouldn't matter IMO. Maybe invite a few close male family members too like a brother or another BM's SO if you're close. It can still be conservative. I had a friend who married 2 years ago and her dad, brother, and uncle were there.

He can help with the venue at least, ask what he was really good with during his wedding and if he can help you with that process. Helping you track budget, compare some vendors and guest list is not a bad one. You can do all the girlie stuff.
