No, a bridesmaid and a maid of honor are not the same thing. A maid of honor is a higher role than that of a bridesmaid; consider a maid of honor to be for the bride what the best man is for the groom. The maid of honor is typically responsible for assisting the bride with anything during the wedding planning process and is most notable for planning and paying for the bachelorette party. The maid of honor is also responsible for helping with the bridal shower (though bridesmaids are expected to help with the bridal shower, too). Finally, the maid of honor is responsible for making a speech at the wedding reception.

What is the difference between 'chief guest' and 'guest of honor'?
I dare to attempt to initiate an answer though I am not an expert on this subject. It appears that the phrase 'Chief guest' does not exist at all. It is actually 'Guest of Honor' who addresses at the gathering and officially opens a formal function concluding his speech. In a sense 'Chief guest' and the 'Guest of honor' are one and the same. Then why the question of difference between these two words arises. After searching the net for a possible answer I noticed that Chief Guest is not used any where except in India. So, in Indian context 'Chief Guest' is equivalent to 'Guest of honor'. They use Chief Guest in the sense of 'Guest of honor'. If that is all it would have not been a problem. But the real confusion arises as both 'Chief Guest' and 'Guest of honor' are being used by Indians for showing some differentiation among the guests invited particularly when there are more number of guests to a formal function. Since they can not call every one of these eminent personalities invited to the function a 'Chief Guest', it might have been practice in India to use 'Guest of honor' for other eminent people than 'Chief Guests' to show respect. The 'Chief Guest' in India enjoys/assumes the role what 'Guest of honor' enjoys/assumes else where. And the 'Guest of Honor' is used in India only to give some importance to the guest invited to the function but nothing else and it should not be confused with 'Guest of Honor' used out of India.
My husband's niece is getting married and our daughter is a bridesmaid age 11 Is it proper for me as the aunt to give a shower The other bridesmaids are young also between 15 to 22?
You should speak to the mother of the bride to find out if you could give a bridal shower for your niece even though your daughter is a bridesmaid. Generally it is the Maid of Honor (single woman) or Matron of Honor (married woman) or one of the bridesmaids that give a shower for the bride.
Who walks down aisle first junior bridesmaid or bridesmaid?
This is definitely an opinion question, but I am the wedding coordinator for my church. Generally, one leads off with the junior bridesmaid, then the "regular" bridesmaids, maid or matron of honor, the the ring-bearer and flower-girl just before the bride. This is not set in stone. For example, if the junior bridesmaid is the big sister of younger attendants, then put her after the other bridesmaids (but before the maid/matron of honor) so she can help keep them calm and focused. If your bridesmaids are walking in with escorts, the junior bridesmaid can go before or after if she's paired up with someone. If she's not paired up, then I'd put her first.
When does the bride hand the bouquet to bridesmaid?
In most cases, the bouquet is handed to the Bridesmaid or Maid of Honor after her father gives her away and she is standing beside her groom at the altar. In some cases, she holds onto her bouquet throughout the entire ceremony.
