So your bestie just got engaged #shesaidyes And…She just asked YOU to be her bridesmaid! You are super excited but maybe this is your first time being in a wedding. No sweat sister! We gotcha covered This is the most exciting time for your girl. Being there for her is the most important job you have during this time.
Here's what to expect in the months leading up to the wedding:
Helping to pick out a bridesmaid dress
This can get costly and not always will you get to choose a dress that fits you well or looks good with your skin tone . Rule of thumb...chime in when asked, otherwise smile and remember this day is about her. On a side note we love the Bridesmaids dresses on @lulus Trendy and affordable.
Help plan and pay for the bridal shower and bachelorette party.
The maid (or matron) of honor is going to be the captain of the ship, but bridesmaids are expected to have ideas, give feedback, help decorate, chip in cash, and assist with the hostess duties. If you're on a limited budget, be up front about it and get creative with affordable fun ideas like creating T-shirts through @Zazzle
You're a part of a team now so communication is key.
Create a private Facebook group of you and the other bridal party members so you all can collaborate on ideas and plans to help your Bride have the best experience. From party music play list to the emergency kit, to a kick ass bachelorette party. Each member should do their job and pitch in to make this party planning fun and simple.
