• Help With Planning – Planning a wedding is tough, so you should be as helpful as you can during the planning process. You can help the bride pick the wedding colors, decide on flowers, go through bridesmaid’s dresses, or a host of other tasks. Be ready to help however she asks. 

• Pre-Wedding Events – As a bridesmaid, you’re expected to attend the engagement party, bridal shower, and bachelorette party. In fact, you may be asked to help plan and run these events, too. Make sure you’re available for those dates as well as the weeks prior to assist with pre-event tasks. This is especially true of the bachelorette party, as planning that event is usually left to the maid of honor and she might need some help. Don’t forget to set a budget and save for the bachelorette party as they can get pricey. 

• Support the Bride Emotionally – Its stressful to plan a wedding! Being there for the bride is perhaps your biggest job as a bridesmaid, as you support can help take some of the stress off her shoulders so she can relax and enjoy the wedding planning process. Check on your bride from time to time, see if she needs help, or just offer her a safe place to vent. The wedding day is going to be a lot of work, but in the end it’s absolutely worth it when you see the bride and groom having the time of their lives. 

• Be On Time – The day of the wedding, be sure to be on time. You will most likely have to be at the venue or hotel early to get ready, so make sure you’re at the right location on time, if not a few minutes early. 

• Watch for Little Tasks – On the wedding day, keep an eye out for little tasks you can take care of without being asked. Bring the bride a glass of water, pick up the getting ready room, make sure everyone has snacks, steam the dresses, or any other small thing that needs to get done. This may sound small, but being available for every little thing that the bride needs can go a long way in making her feel calm and relaxed.
