Without a good Maid of Honor, your bridesmaids would likely kill each other, your dress would be a wrinkly mess, and you'd spend your last night as a single woman in front of the TV. And yes, the Maid of Honor also tackles the bridal shower, addresses the wedding invitations, and helps prepare the wedding favors. All this deserves a thank you or a round of applause, but should her gift stand out from the rest of the bridesmaid gifts?
