I also put my MOH in charge of handing out all the corsages and bouts (since they are mostly for her family ). And, as the wedding is small, she is in charge of music.

She is also in charge of rounding up the groom's family for their pictures.

She did not throw my shower, but she did make the ribbon bouquet!!
