Bridesmaid Duties You Should Know!
Congratulations! You’ve been asked to be a bridesmaid. It’s a huge honor to be invited to be a bridesmaid. Standing next to your close one on their wedding day is not just beautiful, but heartwarming as well. However, that’s not all bridesmaids are for.
There’s so much more to a bridesmaid’s duties except standing next to the bride and wearing their nicest smiles. There are things to be taken care of before, during, and after the wedding. You are expected to attend as well as plan pre-wedding events, pre-wedding rituals, wedding ceremonies, reception, and a lot more. Sounds exhausting, right? Don’t worry, we bring you a bridesmaid duty checklist. Go through it and gulp everything down to slay your role as a bridesmaid!
Take Responsibilities
Simply lend a helping hand and be all ears when the bride needs it. We know it’s stressful to plan a wedding. Your assistance in the planning might make things a bit easy for her. You can help the couple to find the best wedding vendors. It could be anything - a wedding videographer, decor team, floral vendor, or caterers. You can take responsibility for any planning-related tasks.
Accompany for Wedding Dress Shopping
The wedding dress is a big deal for every bride. They’ve probably been thinking about it all their lives. Shopping for it is a unique and delightful experience for every bride. If the bride asks you to join her for it, you must be enthusiastic and practical about it.
Plan, Pay and Attend the bachelorette Party
As a bridesmaid, you must plan, bear the expenses, and attend the bachelorette party. Generally, the maid of honor is in charge of this party. But with mutual agreement, you can also play a part in arranging a part of the party. For instance, take the responsibility for a particular arrangement. It could be finding the wedding videographer, or managing the food and beverages section.
Help to Plan and Organize Pre-Wedding Ceremonies
Again, it is the responsibility of the maid of honor to plan and organize the pre-wedding ceremonies like the bridal shower, bachelorette party, and rehearsal dinner. However, it usually gets tiring and overwhelming to arrange everything at once for one person. Therefore, you can keep a track of details and offer some assistance.
Buy a Wedding Gift for the Couple
Well, this one’s not a duty but an essential and lovely gesture. As someone who’s so close to the wedding couple, you should definitely get them a wedding gift. The tricky part here is to give something that holds meaning. Instead of gifting just as a formality, get them something thoughtful, unique, or useful, that’ll make them happy.
Keep the Bride Happy and Stress-Free
Isn’t this obvious? Brides get nervous and jittery on their wedding day. Getting cold feet on the big day is pretty common. You must make an effort to keep her happy and stress-free in such situations. Just play her favorite song, keep annoying guests out of the picture, or talk fun to her. Whatever it takes, it’s your responsibility to make the bride feel special and beautiful throughout the wedding.
Get the Bridesmaid Dresses
Your attire is one of the big things among the bridesmaid duties that you must keep on topmost. In most cases, the bride helps you find the color and style of your dress.
Do not wait until the last minute to order your dress and accessories because the shipment may take longer than your expectations, and you will end up stressing out. So, order on time to avoid looking like a sore thumb.
So, are you ready to be the perfect bridesmaid now? One more tip, don’t forget to have fun amongst everything. Because when you look back at the videos made by the wedding videographers, along with all the arrangements, your smile will be counted too.
