That is why great bridesmaids (or bridesmen) are such an integral part of any wedding. Whether it\u2019s your first gig or you\u2019re a well seasoned pro, here\u2019s how to be the best bridesmaid ever!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Offer to help with any wedding plans. Be as specific as possible when asking. Saying \u2018can I help with any DIY projects or invites?\u2019 is a lot more inviting than simply \u2018what can I help with?\u2019<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Help scout out bridesmaids looks, shoes and any other accessories and pay for your own outfit. Remember to break in your own shoes. And ultimately be happy with the bride\u2019s final dress decision. Think about how stressful it must be to find a bridesmaids dress to suit everyone!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Run any last minute errands and do any behind-the-scenes work that the bride may need. This could include checking the reception area has been set up properly, putting the couple\u2019s gifts in a safe place and making sure the bride is taken care of.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Provide any emotional support your BF may need. Be a trooper no matter how stressful the planning process is. Be gracious and tactful when needed. You never know when someone may take offense to a comment!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Keep a record of all the gifts received at various parties and bridal showers so the couple can compose thank you notes easily.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Help the bride\u2019s wedding gown train when or if needed. Bustle the train before any dancing begins and be ready to help fix it if it becomes unhooked. Also, helping the bride pee is also unwritten but very kind gesture!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><em>Image via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ryanpricephoto.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ryan Price Photography<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s no secret, putting together a wedding can be a challenge.
