Maid of Honor Checklist

Meet the ultimate companion for the dedicated Maid of Honor: a digital, instant-download checklist crafted to keep you calm, organized, and by the bride’s side every step of the way. Divided into clear phases—BEFORE THE WEDDING, ON THE WEDDING DAY, AFTER THE WEDDING—plus a MISCELLANEOUS section, this MOH checklist turns wedding chaos into a confident, actionable plan.

BEFORE THE WEDDING

• Coordinate with the bride and bridal party to lock in dates, fittings, and venue walk-throughs.
• Track dress orders, alterations, and delivery timelines to ensure everyone looks coordinated on the big day.
• Manage invitations, RSVPs, and guest accommodations, so no detail falls through the cracks.
• Organize vendor communications (caterer, photographer, DJ, hair and makeup) and compile contact details in one place.
• Plan the rehearsal schedule, rehearsal dinner logistics, and who handles toasts and speeches.
• Prepare a stylish, portable day-before and day-of needs kit with essentials the bride may request.

ON THE WEDDING DAY

• Keep the bride calm and on schedule with a streamlined day-of timeline and contingency plans.
• Coordinate gift and card collection, photo moments, and family groupings for portraits.
• Oversee vendor arrivals, outfits, transportation, and routing to venues so nothing is missed.
• Deliver heartfelt toasts or speeches and support the bride through last-minute adjustments with confidence.
• Document the day with quick notes and reminders to ensure thanks and memories are captured later.

AFTER THE WEDDING

• Track thank-you notes and gifts to ensure every sender is acknowledged in a timely way.
• Follow up on any outstanding vendor invoices or payments and collect receipts for the couple.
• Coordinate post-wedding photos, albums, and keepsakes so memories are organized and shareable.
• Wrap up any loose ends, from return timelines to packing for honeymoons and post-event errands.

MISCELLANEOUS

• Flexible space for add-ons, reminders, and notes tailored to the bride’s priorities and your unique planning style.
• Perfect for long-distance MOHs who need a clear, shareable plan that travels with them.
• Simple, intuitive structure so you can print, reference on your phone, or share with trusted bridesmaids.
