It is definitely worth thinking about it, because you can make the moment even more emotional and beautiful with a great surprise.

If you lovingly design the occasion around the question to your maid of honor, it will also increase the anticipation of the celebration. If you feel overwhelmed with the wedding planning and would like active help, you can speak openly about it to your maid of honor or your bridesmaids. But don’t expect them to take on extensive tasks. If they want to, fine. But if they don’t react enthusiastically, don’t pressure them. They are not obliged to do so. If they help you with seemingly small things, such as making gifts for the guests or decorating the night before, then that will already be a great help. After all, not everyone loves big planning and organizing.
