According to http://money.cnn.com/2005/05/31/pf/saving/willis_tips/index.htm One in 62 Americans will get married this year, and 295 million will be their wedding guests! That is a whole lot of celebration! With all this celebrating comes a lot of work. Bridesmaids be ready for an intense journey!
Rule 1: Bridesmaid should be available
If you agree to be a part of the wedding, that means more than just buying the dress and showing up for the affair. There are bridesmaid duties to be taken care of. With a wedding a bride has to plan the rehearsal dinner and wedding. Now, the bridesmaids need to plan (and most of the time pay for) the bridal shower and bachelorette party.
Rule 2 Maid of Honor has the final say over Bridesmaid
If the bride chose this particular person to be the Maid of Honor then this person is the Head of the bridal committee. Also she must do more work and often put in more money than the rest of the bridal party.
Rule 3 The Bride has the right to send you as many emails or calls/texts as she pleases.
If a bride has been emailing the bridal party, please respond in a timely fashion. If the bride chooses dates for you to make yourself available, please mark it in your planners. This is how we avoid a Bridezilla situation.
Rule 4 CASH MONEY ladies
In my opinion, if you are part of a bridal party you must pay for the following
unless the Bride has directed otherwise: Dress, shoes, accessories, nails, hair, makeup, bridal shower along with a gift from the registry, bachelorette party along with a gift for the bride, and a check the day of the wedding.
Rule 5 Don't be that complainer
There is always the Bridemaid-zilla who thinks it is her wedding or who is jealous of the fact that she isn't getting married. Do not be, I repeat DO NOT BE this girl who complains about every detail from the dress that was chosen to the color of eye shadow the makeup artists will use.
Are you having Bridesmaid drama? I wanna hear about it!
