Duties of the Wedding Party Part 4


Bridesmaids

As with the groomsmen, these ladies could be sisters or friends of the bride and groom. Don’t let the “maids” part of “bridesmaid” fool you. They do not have to be single to be a bridesmaid. We are in the 21st Century afterall.

The bridesmaids can offer their help to the maid of honor and bride during the planning process, as well as helping the maid of honor plan the bridal shower. They are responsible for paying for their own attire, which the bride usually chooses for them.

During the reception, the bridesmaids should be conscientious to the guests and assist wherever possible.

Junior Bridesmaids

These attendants are usually in the age range of 12-16 years old. These young ladies could light candles or pass out the rose petals after the wedding or reception for your grand exit.

As with the bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids pay for their own attire and could be a modified version of the bridesmaids’ dresses.
