A Bridesmaids Job and Maide of Honor

The maid of honor does most. It is helpful if the brides maids help them out. Try this website.

Be there, on time, in the correct dress and shoes and hair style. Don't tease the bride too much or complain about the dress. Pretend it's the cutest dress you ever saw and the coolest wedding you ever attended. Be finished with your own hair & make up early so you can help with the bride's. Wherever you see things starting to go awry, help out. If teh bride is about to step on the hem of her gown while getting dressed, rush to fluff the hem out so she doesn't trip (with clean hands, please). If the bride is about to sneeze from hairspray that the maid of honor is working with, go find a box of kleenex. Be happy and tell her how exciting it all is. After the wedding and during the receiption, tell her how wonderful it was. If she needs to be alone, let her be, if she needs to have a hug, give it to her. If she needs understanding or other bridesmaids are fussing and it upsets the bride, try to find a way to smooth things over. Step back and play second, third and fourth fiddle.

This is her day, the bridesmaid's job is to make that happen.

To do something really special, make note of things that happen during the day that the bride and photographer will never notice, and then let her in on them after the honeymoon. Tell her how her grandmother cried when she said "I do" and how you saw her nephew grabbing a piece of cake and trying to feed it to his little sister in imitation of her & her new husband. All the silly little things that will make it special but that she might not remember or even have known about. Put it in a little letter that thanks her for inviting you to participate in her special day.

Oh yeah... other jobs... go to the shower (or help plan it)... go to the girl's night out and help pay for it if you can. NEVER get drunk or embarassing or become the life of the party, but if you happen to quietly meet the man of your dreams while she's celebrating getting married to the man of her's, be sure to let her know and give her plenty of credit for it.

Any bridal magazine will give you the formal information on what the minimal job requires, and is always fun to read, anyways, but if you want to be the BEST bridesmade ever, that's the job (oh, and rent the movie "27 Dresses", to get some ideas on what kinds of things a good bridesmaid says & does to make their friend's day perfect!)
