What is the REAL role of the matron of honor? I’ve been looking in google but I only find maid of honor. I want to ask my best friend but it’s going to be a very small gathering of 15 people. She has been my support and who can calm me down for years. I just want to let her know how important is to have her by my side. But I don’t want to look silly or give her a big responsibility

It’s the same as maid of honor but it’s a married person rather than a single person. The only role is to stand next to you as you get married. Sometimes they hold your bouquet while you give your vows and make a toast at the reception. But nothing is mandatory.

What Kelly said. They are the same role. Maid just means an unmarried woman and matron means a married woman.

I have two MOHs and they're my besties. I guess their role is to be your support.

In addition to what is said above, if your MOH says she wants to help with anything, have a frank conversation at the beginning of the planning process. Find out what she expects to help with, and what you're hoping she'll contribute to. That helps avoid any confusion later on.

In my experience, every wedding is different. My MOH helped plan my bach party (and booked everything), flew out to my shower (my mom hosted), and bought her dress. No involvement in wedding or shower planning.

Anyone in your bridal party buys her dress (having been consulted privately about her budget), shows up sober in the dress, and smiles for the pictures. That's all. There are no further "duties."
