Are you supposed to get your maid of honor anything extra than what you got the rest of your bridesmaids?

Question

I am getting married in October and I got my bridesmaids necklaces and earrings to wear with their dresses as their presents. Are you supposed to get the maid of honor an additional gift to thank her for her extra work?

Answer 1

No, but if you want to you can

Answer 2

You can if you want but it would not be appropriate to give it to her in front of the other girls.

Answer 3

MOHs do a lot for the brides and they are responsible for a lot of things...like bachelorette parties and other things that their particular bride wants or needs to be done.  I myself will get my MOH/sister something extra to thank her for all that she does for me.

Answer 4

Technically yes.  Your maid of honor is supposed to help with critical planning phases of your wedding, so it'd be nice to get her a little something extra as a thank you for all her help.  

Her gift can be more personal than the ones given to the other bridesmaids.  She'll probably be the one with you up until the moment you walk down the aisle... and that's a good time to give her the special gift.... while no one else is looking.   It'll be a moment you'll both remember forever.... and it tells her you appreciate her efforts to make you queen for  day.  Making her feel special as well proves you're not self-centered.  

Yes, it's YOUR day, but why not carve out a moment to let yoru maid of honor know how much you appreciate her!  

Make it personal.  A gift card to her favorite restaurant... a necklace with her birthstone.... all common gifts ideas.  

My advice would be to think of a gift that symbolizes how you became so close as friends in the first place.  How did you meet?  How did you bond?  When did you realize she was a friend for life?

Buy her a gift that says "depite all the busy-work I've tended to as the bride, I still had time to think of you."  

If money's tight,. make her something.  A photo album filled with pictures of you and her... just an idea.  

Even a card would suffice.  Heartfelt words can be the greatest gift of all.  Just a few words to let her know how glad you are to have her as a friend.  

****... I'm going to cry, now, just thinking about my maid of honor nad how long it's been since we saw each other face to face.  I think I'm going to send mine  a letter right now.... and tell her to meet me in Vegas!

Answer 5

Traditionally, yes.

Answer 6

it would be nice to get her a nice small gift on the side, or even a nice card with your feelings on it & thanking her for all her support. but i don't usually see brides doing this, because the maid of honor title is usually something big already. but go for it! it's a sweet idea. if you need any ideas check out some of the links below.
