Bridesmaids Do's and Don'ts

The bridesmaids are members of the bride's party in a wedding. A bridesmaid is typically a young woman, and often a close friend or sister. She attends to the bride on the day of a wedding or marriage ceremony. The keyword here is ATTENDS to the bride, that being said here are some dos and don'ts for bridesmaids a Facebook friend posted, I decided to compile and share some of the hilarious points

Bridesmaids dos and don'ts

Bridesmaid Do #1: Accommodate all the bride's requests... Every one besides dancing to 'Get Me Bodied.'

Bridesmaid Do #2: Expect little or no sleep. That's why concealer exists.

Bridesmaid Do #3: DANCE at the reception! Dance to everything! Until it's just you and the waiters/waitresses, if you like.

Bridesmaid Do #4: Mingle with the groomsmen. You just never know...!

Bridesmaid Do #5: Do make yourself available to do routine tasks such as distributing souvenirs, collecting money, counting money and making change to enable guests spray more and more money.

Bridesmaid Do #6: Expect to eat at random times. 2am the morning of the wedding or 11pm the day of the wedding. Expect to be hungry too.


And then the don'ts ......

Bridesmaid Don't #1: Don't wear uncomfortable shoes, sitting pretty and acting helpless.

Bridesmaid Don't #2: Don't have an attitude. Expect to go the distance and know at the end of the day, it'll all be worth it. Well, yes. It will.

Bridesmaid Don't #3: Don't bother the bride with little, unimportant details. #aintnobodygottimeforthat

Bridesmaid Don't #4: No bad behavior at the reception! You represent the bride. Act accordingly. Or hide, act up, return to the public eye THEN act accordingly!

Bridesmaid Don't #5: Do not take up unnecessary tasks. For example, don't serve food at the reception when waiters and waitresses have been employed for that specific reason. There is no winner in the bridesmaid competition. And you are not getting paid for such tasks. #haveseveral

Bridesmaid Don't #6: Don't attempt to hide when the bride is throwing her bouquet. Your guy friend might just grab you and push you on the dancefloor #whosentyou #mindyourbusiness

Bridesmaid Don’t #7: Don’t get offended easily. Remember, women are generally difficult to deal with. If one of the bridesmaids, the CBM or the bride makes a comment which irritates you, brush it off. Diffuse the situation when it comes to the bride, she’s under pressure. Ignore the rest of them. Unless they diss yo mama. Then it’s guns blazing, bro.

Note to brides:

Be mindful of their body hang-ups when choosing a dress (exactly!)
Respect their input (yeah right)
Consider differently shaped dresses for the maids. One style does not fit all (pls tell them o)
Pay for their dress and fittings ( *coughs* )
Pay for their shoes if new ones required (no comment)
Pay for their accommodation before the wedding, on the night if possible too (no comment)
Pay for their hair and make-up (no comment)

Note to maids:

Be positive to the bride’s ideas about what you should wear
Be accommodating to her vision
Contribute your own research and suggestions
Make yourself available for shopping trips
Throw her the mother of all hens to suit her personality, not yours
Learn how to fit and position the dress, veil and train
Paying for your own bridemaid's dress? Unacceptable. Here's how you should treat your maids, and they should treat you...
