5 tips on being a bridesmaid

                                  

1)Do not offer any input on the bridesmaids' dresses unless you are asked. And if you are asked, anything that the bride wants is what you want. Got it? It's just one day-and besides, in certain light, a peach-chartreuse combo is geogeous.
2)Be sure you look good on the big day-but not to good. I'm not kidding. You have to put in the time and effort for the wedding photos, but you should not look better than the bride, babe! It's her day.

                                                            

3) If you start to get the feeling that your bride might be asking you to go a tad beyond the call of duty, be really bad at those tasks. I swear, she won't ask you to do them anymore. Use this trick sparingly. You do have to do some work, slacker.
4) Do not use the bridesmaid toast as an opportunity to showcase your own talents. It should be about the bride and the groom. Feel free to tell stories about how you and the bride met, funny times that you have had together, etc. Just be sure she emerges as the heroine in every story, not you.

                                  

5)Please be sure to tell the bride she's beautiful. This is one of the most important days in her life. And boy, does she look fantastic.
