My best friend is getting married to my brother and has asked me to be her Matron of Honor which I couldn't be happier about however I need some ideas. My husband is in the Army and we are stationed in Alaska so there is no way that we can afford for me to go home for her shower, bachelorette party, and wedding so I am wanting to do something special for her and am in need of ideas. I just want to do something so she knows I am happy for them (which I am very) and sorry I couldn't be there. Thank you!
Re: Long Distance Matron of Honor
Do you want to do it AT these events??
If so, for the shower since it's a little more formal, you could do a video message and have someone play it and have someone hand her a gift from you while she watches your message.
For the bachelorette party, you could find out where they are going and treat them to a round of drinks with the bartending reading a toast from you.
Just a quick thought on those, I'm sure someone else could advance on them from there.
If you want to do something nice for her. If you plan on being in town for the wedding a few days before, why not schedule a mani/pedi session with the bride. I'm sure she will appreciate the few hours of relaxation before the wedding day.
