My Best Friend's's Wedding: 4 Ways to Be an Outstanding Bridesmaid!

Your best pal is getting wed and has selected you to be one of her bridesmaids. Lucky you, that is unless she has awful taste and the dress is awful! Seriously, it is a respect that you need to look forward to, but not a thing to be treated lightly. There are serious duties concerned in being a bridesmaid, obligations and time-honored conventions that you must remember.

Duty Number One

You will help in the planning and staging of the bridal shower. Naturally, top-tier calls go to the chief bridesmaid, but you'll get to have your hand in there as well . And remember, sometimes that's only an honorary title, given to the sister or cousin of the bride due to family duty. You still hold the title that counts : best friend.

Duty Number 2

You may help to be certain that you and your cohorts are all present and accounted for at all fittings, without reference to how much you claim to be allergic to taffeta. One or more of the bridesmaids is expected to go with the bride for her own fittings as well . Remember this : the phrase' but it hardly shows' is rarely the answer to any question asked by an almost nude bride in the fitting room. If you do say those words, duck, run for cover and buy her something additional nice for a wedding present.

Duty Number 3

Ah, everybody stand by to elbow one another for this one : you'll help plan the bachelorette party. Whoever scoffs and calls this convention degrading, demeaning or childish will be the 1st one drunk and chasing male dancers round the floor. Ensure that you keep the bride under some type of control ; she doesn't wish to do something she will wake up and regret, but don't attempt to mother her at all .

Duty Number four

You and the other bridesmaids will have to make sure the bride is prepared for her big day, that she has everything looked after, and she looks glowing and fresh. She will be nervous, maybe even panicked, so calm her down as much as you can.

Bonus duty:

Being a bridesmaid can be a lot of work, particularly if you are working with a bride who doesn't actually think she is prepared. She may change her mind about the dresses, or the flowers or the dresses and the flowers a million times. You'll probably loathe the dress, but you adore her, and isn't that what actually matters? She's going to want to thank her bridesmaids for all of their patience and toleration, and in a quiet, personal moment, be a good chum and show her some good bridesmaid gifts, therefore helping her narrow down her selections. That way, you know you get what you would like to have, and the other bridesmaids can thank you for an exceptional gift later also.
