Bridesmaid 101: Etiquette
Feb 8, 2010 Bridesmaids
One of your best girlfriends has asked you to be a bridesmaid in her wedding… and of course you accepted! If you’ve never been a bridesmaid before though, you might be wondering, “What’s next?” Here are some Bridesmaid Etiquette tips for you to read from our main website on the San Diego Wedding Insider. Check them out below and read the full article here and get more bridesmaids tips from our Bridesmaid 101 section.
{1} Moral Support
One of the most important things you should do as a bridesmaid, if you only do this one thing, is give Moral Support. This day can be very stressful and overwhelming so when you see the Bride feeling down, or feeling like there’s too much on her plate, just let her know that you are there to help in any way she needs. Give her the emotional support she needs by putting on a good face and feeling confident that everything will be ok.
{2} Bridal Shower
Planning the Bridal Shower is probably the first task you’ll have to accomplish as a Bridesmaid. If you’re the Maid of Honor, you’ll have to take control of the planning so make sure you delegate to your fellow Bridesmaids so everyone feels involved and it turns out to be a smoothly planned event. Choose a fun theme for the party to make things creative and festive. When making up the guest list, consult with the Bride to make sure you’re not leaving anyone out of the fun. Another important task to accomplish during the Bridal Shower is to make a gift list so when it comes time to send out the Thank You cards, the Bride knows who gave her what.
