     11 year old MOH duties?  

My step daughter has asked her sister, my daughter to be her Maid of Honor. And she is elated. My question is since she is 11, are her duties now my duties?

Some of the things on the list have already been taken care of by the brides mother, and the bride, i.e. invitations, dress, flowers, etc. Not the bridal shower that I am aware of. So does this sound like her mother is taking over the MOH duties? I don't want to overstep my boundaries as a stepmom. However, I know nothing about showers and wedding etiquette. Her mom and I have gotten along ok in the past. But I am fearful that when my husband tells his daughter that he is only going to pay for half of the wedding and not the honeymoon, communication will become stressed.

Dear Stepmom,

Mothers shouldn't host the shower. So, a friend would host it if there is to be one.

The couple is supposed to be financially responsible for their weddings these days. So, it is very nice gesture for your husband to pay for half of their wedding. He definitely is not responsible for their honeymoon costs.

Best wishes,
