Bridesmaids?

One of my best friends just asked me to be one of two bridesmaids, the other one is in another state until the wedding. What am I going to be expected to do? How are duties split between more then one bridesmaid? Any general advice, the last time I was in a wedding I was 5 and the flower girl. Thanks in advance!!

Bridesmaids?
Honestly, it will depend on what kind of bride to be this is. I had 1 maid of honor, and 4 bridesmaids. All they did was help decorate at the reception site the day before the wedding. I was the bride to be that wanted everything done MY way...lol...so I pretty much did everything along with my mom. Just talk to your friend about what she might need your help with, and always be ready to offer help even if she doesn't ask. Other than that, you may be expected to help in throwing the bridal shower, if there is one. Good Luck!
Reply:The Maid of honor usually does most of the stuff, but you will be expected to get a dress, attend the showers, help plan the showers. Generally there are at least two showers and a bachelorette party thrown. Some brides have more showers but you should not be expected to help with them. You will probably be asked to help with her bridal shower, her personal shower and her bachelorette party.
Reply:that all depends on the bride. you would need to talk to her and findout what she expects of you. I only had a MOH and her duties wer eto show up on the wedding day and be there for me. she didnt have to plan anything or help me do anything as I didnt feel it was up to her to plan my wedding. on the other hand, some brides expect their wedding party to do basically everythign for them, so talk to her and find out.
Reply:The maid/matron of honor usually does a lot of things to help out but I'm sure that you will be able to help to. You should just ask your bride if she needs anything and go from there! Good luck!





Edit: Ohhhh that may change things. I'd say just ask what the bride would like you to do and try to be as helpful as possible.
Reply:I am a bridesmaid in a wedding in a month. There is a maid of honour, and another brides maid and we have done everything together.



We planned the Stagette, and the shower.
Reply:Be prepared to be the brides slave until her big "moment".

MOH means you are at the brides beck and call and have to do everything she says .. from planning showers and parties to picking up her dress!
Reply:hrm...i was just in my brothers wedding as a bridesmaid....i helped decorate and went to get the dresses...helped clean the decorations when it was over...i didnt actually have to do that much but she had her sisters so i dunno
Reply:bridesmaids arent expected to do much really. help with things when the bride requests it and be there for her. if you have specific questions about what you'll have to do, ask the bride.
