What duties do bridesmaids usually have? I haven't been to many weddings and have no clue what my two bridesmaids are supposed to do/help with. Thanks!
Just walk down the aisle xxx
Nothing, just be there to support you & get ready with you!
They need to make sure that you are ok and have everything you need throughout the day
There is no right or wrong. Some bridesmaids are really hands on with everything others are more laid back and just help you on the day. Maybe have a talk with them and see how involved they want to be/ can be. They may want to plan your hen do etc. It's all personal choice etc. X
Depends on what kind on person you are. Some people thing their bridesmaids especially the maid of honour should be on call 24/7, organising things, helping out etc etc. Personally my bridesmaids will be by my side on the day and perhaps help lift my dress when it's time to pop to the loo. Other than that I don't believe they have to do anything. Personal choice though.
All depends mostly like help you arrange thing help you pee and have fun enjoying your self in morning so I'm generally just be their but again depends on the person
i have 2 moh & they want & will be involved in everything(their choice) & for that im very grateful.
Mine are being great listening to me bounce ideas off them and coming up with ideas but other then that they'll help on the day and whenever they want to. I don't want them to be too stressed I want them to enjoy it as much as I do
My maid of honour and bridesmaid are only expected to be there on the day on time. We are paying for everything for them as we want them part of our day.I understand we are all busy mums with families to look after and would never expect them to be on call wedding wise 24/7
Nothing! Id never expect bridesmaids to do anything except turn up for dress shopping and fittings! I wouldnt expect anything of a maid of honour either
mine have been so helpful just with ideas and saying if what i like would look right, i havent asked them ro do anything but their always happy to help
My bridesmaids are organising my hen do because they wanted to, not because I told them to. They will also have honourable duty of helping me go to the toilet on the day!! other than that, I just want them to have a great day too xx
Be there on the day. Attend dress fittings. Be genuinely happy for me. That's it, I don't need or want slaves just want to have my favourite people around me.
Only one of mine did anything...she came and helped straighten my hair and do my stocking up as my nails too long lol ...the rest just turned up in time to leave x
Personally,I don't think bridesmaids have many jobs. They aren't there to help you plan your wedding (that would be the hubby 2 be's job),make favours or any of that jazz. They offer you emotional support,help you with your dress. The only job my MOH is having is turning up at the right time,at the right venue,on the right day. Maybe have a think about what you want from them,then be upfront with your expectations
Mine haven't done that much to be honest purely because I've had everything under control. My MOH planned my hen weekend and they bridesmaids have helped with some DIY jobs. I expect on the day I'll need them more than ever with helping me get ready and organising people.
My bridesmaids just have to be there for fittings and they have made a few phone calls for me as I hate talking on the phone to strangers
