Duties Of A Bridesmaid

• Should you have been asked to be a bridesmaid it is a great honor to have. This does not mean you're just at the front in the wedding. This means you have to help with anything that there is to do to get the wedding done and right. Things such as when the bride asks for ideas as to where she should have the wedding you should help scout out good places and go with her to look at them. The best thing to do is drive for her so she can totally focus on the different places.
• If you have nice handwriting offer to help with invitations and peoples seating cards. Offer to help them order things that they will need for the wedding such as decorations, favors, flowers, and food. Help in making decisions as to what will go with the theme they will be having. The bride is going to have a lot going on so I am sure any suggestions will be extremely helpful to her.
• Go with her to help look at different dresses not only for her but you and the other bridesmaids as well. More then one person is always a good thing. It will be a hard decision for her to make on her own. Plus she will need advice as to what looks the best on her and vice versa for her bridesmaids and maid of honor.
• Offer to pick the dresses up when they are ready so it lessens the load of running around for her. When you do pick them up make sure that you have a list of everything you have to get and the sizes. Look at each dress before you leave and make sure they are all right and nothing is wrong with them.
• Make up a drawing and list of the seating arrangements and offer to set it up for her or at least to help do so. This way when you get to the hall or place the wedding will be held it will be real easy for you to set everything up in an orderly fashion.
• Ask the maid of honor if they want help with the bridal shower and bachelorette party this can be a tedious task for her as well. This all has to be perfect for the bride to be.
• Write everything that you can possibly think of down and communicate with everyone else that will be helping. Communication with others is a very big issue. If you do this and keep contacted with the others I guarantee things will ride along a lot smoother and in an orderly fashion.
• Make sure if the bride wants you to be there at the rehearsal dinner you are. This is the perfect time so all of you can get together before the big day arrives and all of you can go over everything and make sure nothing was forgotten or not mentioned. This will keep all plans and things together.
• Now when the big day is finally here you want to make sure you are there bright and early to help the bride in getting dressed and her makeup and hair together if she has not went out and had it done. Even if she has just make sure it is all in place and perfect.
• Ask the bride if she wants anything such as food, drink, to speak to another person and if so get whatever she needs all the way till it is time for her to go out.
• All the bridesmaids should help one another in getting ready on time.
• Make sure if the bride needs some privacy or alone time before the wedding that she is not bothered at all.
• If she wants you to be a witness to signing the marriage license make sure to be right there for her. This is a very big deal and the wedding can't occur without it.
• If they do not have ushers try and help assist the other people to their seats so things do not get messed up and people don't get frustrated.
• Right before it is time for them to come down the aisle make sure there is nothing on the ground that she will slip, trip or fall on. This would be a very embarrassing thing for any bride.
• If any of the other people there should have any questions at all you should try to answer it to the best of your knowledge so the bride and groom are not bothered right before the big moment.
• Be a good listener if the bride should need to vent before the big moment. Give her all the moral support that you can to make her comfortable and as relaxed as she can be.
• Try to take as many pictures as you can before you have to go stand in line. Every good picture will count for the bride and groom to share later in life and they will definitely appreciate what you have done for them through this whole time.
• Last but not least, enjoy yourself. Have a great time at the reception and remember to let the bride and groom know how honored you are to have taken part in their big day.

If you follow all of these instructions to the best that you can you will not have any problems in helping the bride to have the most beautiful and exciting time of her life. She will thank you and appreciate all that you have done from the deepest bottom of her heart.
