    Buying the dress that you choose with her input on budget and showing up to the wedding wearing it clean and sober enough to get down the aisle. Anything else is gravy.

    A bachelorette party is a gift and can be thrown by anyone (other than the bride) who chooses to host it.

    If the bride wants you to be involved in the planning and if your willing to help then it will just go by what you two agree on. Also you would be paying for the dress obviously. If you want to throw her a bridal shower then you could. You would just have to budget that some how by yourself or maybe have the bridal party chip in. 

    The Bachelorette party is not a given. But you could help fund it if you wanted to.

    I asked the same Q over a month ago and someone directed me to a list of what the maid of honor would/could do.

    That list is bullcrap.  There are no duties aside from getting the dress, chosen with the MOH's budget and comfort in mind.

    <div>No I get that none of it is required obviously. And I did throw out before the list that all she absolutely had to do was get the dress and show up. I think the list is just a simple guideline for MOH who actually want to help a bride out. I am a Maid of honor and I have been loving helping  the bride when she asks. I told her at the very beginning if she had any questions or wanted help with DIY projects or whatever else then she could come to me. And she has done just that. She has done majority of it obviously but if she gets stuck then she asks. </div><div>
    </div><div>OP, </div><div>the list is not full or requirements just suggestions. </div><div>
