Mirror Mirror On The Wall
The maid of honor has a big job. Not only does she have to coordinate and oversee a lot of the wedding party plans, she also has to keep the bride-to-be calm and collected. The maid of honor is the person who has to constantly reassure the bride-to-be that everything is going to be just fine, even if it isn't. If you're a Type A personality who wants to out-do everyone else, think long-term. Think about keeping the bride-to-be happy long after she becomes the actual bride by making a homemade bridal shower favor just for her. How? By giving her a pimped up mirror (paint it pink and stick feathers all over it) and an accompanying cassette tape with phrases like:
You are the most beautiful woman in the world.
You never seem to age.
Your husband couldn't have found a more beautiful woman.
You don't even need any makeup.
Someone should give you a diamond tiara.
No, those pants do not make you look fat.
If you see any wrinkles in this mirror, it's the mirror that isn't working properly.
You know the bride-to-be better than anyone else, so add the kinds of phrases that are going to make her feel like a young bride for years and years to come. To take it a step further, have her mother add phrases like, “You look exactly like I did at your age.” As the years go by, the bride can simply gaze into the mirror while listening to those affirmative phrases and presto! she'll feel good as new. Go easy on the tape-recorded comments though! Otherwise, the bride may never speak to you again.
