15 Things a Perfect Bridesmaid Will Do



This was taken from the July 2010 issue of Brides magazine. I liked it so much that I had to post it for all of you to read:
  1. Give you honest (but gentle) opinions as you try on dresses.
  2. Weep (along with your mom) when you finally emerge from the dressing room wearing "the one".
  3. Create a "tasteful" bachelorette party wardrobe for you--diamond tiara, fluffy pink boa.
  4. Offer to do your hair and makeup on the wedding day.
  5. Stuff 167 candy-favor bags without complaining or eating one single jelly bean.
  6. Record gifts at your bridal shower (in legible handwriting).
  7. Run out to pick up last-minute items on the wedding day.
  8. Call you out for bad behavior (i.e. making the matron of honor promise not to get pregnant before the wedding).
  9. Lend you a shoulder to cry on when the stress gets to be too much.
  10. Spend the night before the wedding at your place to talk, laugh, and calm your nerves.
  11. Decorate the outdoor reception venue in scorching afternoon heat, minus any whining.
  12. Start dancing to get the reception crowd up.
  13. Give your mom special attention at the wedding--it's her day, too.
  14. Deal with the DJ the second he starts spinning "Who let the dogs out?", which she knows is song number one on your "don't play--ever!" list.
  15. Text you post-honeymoon for drinks on Thursday night...like always.

  1. And most importantly, comfort the bride if in case misunderstanding occur between the couple after the wedding month. This one sounds funny though.

  2. I've been a bridesmaid twice, and I'm happy to know that both couples are still together. Anyway, I just want to comment on #7. Planning ahead will eliminate the need to do errands.

  3. I agree with #9. Stress is very common in weddings, especially if the bride wants a perfect wedding. Something is guaranteed to go wrong. What most couple forget during the planning is the marriage itself. They only need to spend time together to de-stress themselves.

  4. Sounds like the blog post version of 27 Dresses! If only all bridesmaids are like this, there would be far less bridezillas in the world.
