In colloquial English, we would say maid of honor's for the possessive singular, maids of honor's for the plural. This is because the phrases "maid of honor" and "maids of honor" are understood as single words. In the same way we would also say the Queen of England's hat.

this is like the question for the plural possessive [sic] of "business," which is businesses'.
I would imagine the only case where you would want to express the plural possessive [sic] of "maid of honor" is if you were talking about the bachelorette [sic] party--the night before. "Maids's of honor." But would "Maids's" be in italics or quotes? And what would that connote? Who knows? If it Weren't for "Sammy" Johnson, perhaps spelling/grammer/usage--(as it relates to math) would not be that confounding for students of English. So is the plural possessive [sic] of business: businesses' or {in the instance where either/or can "only" mean one "or" the other} business's. oh. by the way I'm a geek in love with words.
first honors is the correct one

Yes, but in this case it's not a plural use. It's a possessive. You need to add an apostrophe to show ownership of the birthday. It's Kim's birthday, the birthday of Kim. Just write: In honor of Kim's birthday. The word Kim's is not plural here, but it is correct with the possessive.
The word honor (British spelling honour) is singular.The plural form is honors (honours).
It's singular. "First honors" is also equivalent to "all the honors of being first", or "first over all honors". So, yeah, singular. But I bet it's safer to use First Honor instead, without the s.

"A strawberry" is correct. "An" should be used only before vowel sounds. Not all words that start with vowels start with vowel sounds, and not all words that start with vowel sounds start with vowels. Examples: a tree, an orange, a hairbrush, an uncle, a uniform (because "uniform" starts with a "y" sound and not a vowel sound), and an honor (because the "h" is silent, so "honor" starts with a vowel sound).
