As ideal a society as it would be if we all lived right next door to our best friend, sometimes life takes us in other directions. Which is great when it comes to seeing the world and coming back with some great stories but not so great when you're trying to be the Maid of Honor for a bride that's hundreds of miles away! So how can you still do your duties as the MOH when you can't actually be there to get them done?
First and foremost, accompany the bride on virtual shopping expeditions. Whether you use a cell phone camera or the Internet to look at catalogs, this lets you weigh in on things like bridesmaid's dresses, flowers, decorations and oh, I don't know…her wedding gown?
Visit. Often. And plan on coming back into town for at least two weeks before the wedding for the flurry of bridal showers, bachelorette parties and last minute preparations that are going to mark the event. That way you can be there to calm your best friend down when she panics because things are going wrong, gets cold feet two days before the wedding, or decides she hates her in-laws and tries to book a flight to Canada to get out of the event!
Remember, just because you're not right there next to her doesn't mean you can't take part. Let modern day technology work its miracles to make you the world's greatest long distance Maid of Honor.
