Five Reasons it's Great to Be a Bridesmaid (Hint: Not Just Bridesmaid Gifts)
Always a bridesmaid, never a bride. There's nothing wrong with that! It's great to be a bridesmaid and it's not just because you'll get bridesmaid gifts. Next time you get presented with a Will You Be My Bridesmaid Cookie Card, don't moan and groan about how you have to bustle yet another gown and make jello-shots for another bachelorette party. Not only is it an honorable role, there are many good things about being a bridesmaid!
It's Great to Be a Bridesmaid Because...
5. You're a chosen one. Remember not being picked for gym class? When you don't get picked as a close friend's bridesmaid, it stings much like that. When she chooses you as a bridesmaid, you should be honored. It means you're one of her closest friends or relatives!
4. It's fun. When she first hands you that mile-long list of chores, don't worry. The other bridesmaids will help. Most of the planning falls into the hands of the Maid of Honor and the bridesmaids assist her. And unless you're the Maid of Honor most of your bridesmaid duties will fall on the actual wedding date. You'll get to dance with cute groomsmen, help plan the bridal shower, and at the end, she'll reward all her lovely ladies with cute bridesmaid gifts.
3. New Dress. The days of hideous bridesmaid dresses are O-V-E-R over! Good news for you if you're going to be a bridesmaid. It's now a trend to pick bridesmaid dresses the girls can wear again (the newest bridesmaid gifts). As a bridesmaid, you get to get all dolled-up and look pretty for a whole day. You may even get new bridesmaid jewelry as bridesmaid gifts from the bride.
2. Ideas. If you're a bridesmaid, not a matron you'll gain a good perspective for your own wedding. And even if you don't plan to wed anytime soon, you can pass the inside information along to engaged friends. When it comes to the wedding flowers and a reception venue, you'll learn the ins and out. You'll deal with vendors when the bride can't, learn the proper way to address wedding invitations, where to shop for a dress, and what to give as bridesmaid gifts.
1. Bridesmaids get special attention. It's not the only reason to be a bridesmaid, but it's a good one. You'll get bridesmaid gifts and possibly to enjoy a bridesmaid luncheon.
