Being a bridesmaid is perhaps one of the most important roles in the wedding following the bride and groom. Who ever is chosen you can bet that the bride values this person for many reasons. Being chosen to be a bridesmaid is an honor bestowed on each one, and has important obligations to go with the title. It is natural to become a bit nervous at the thought, but once you think about the fun, the gowns, and helping the bride to get dressed on the wedding day, the nerves leave and anticipation excitement take over. Flow with it, and enjoy it, because after the wedding, all the fun is over.
First of all, think about all the things that you might feel go wrong now. Do you think you might gain weight after your gown is selected and that it will not fit you? Are you nervous because you fear that your shoes will be too tight and hurt while you stand at the altar, or walk down the aisle? Choose the best diet for you and stay on it after the gown is bought, and wear shoes that you know will not hurt.
Then, get excited at helping to choose the color or style of your gown. Generally, all the bridesmaids have to wear the same dress, or at least the same color, so don't expect the selection to be an easy one. Every girl thinks they look better in a different dress, so anticipate some fun disputes over making the choice.
Also start making the bride a special wedding gift. Make a wedding scrapbook for her, filled with pictures taken with all of you prior to the wedding. Make sure you have pictures of you all trying on shoes, and different hairstyles. She will look back at all the excitement she shared with all her friends who helped plan the wedding.
Being a bridesmaid is truly an honor and a job to take seriously. You have to handle a lot of things. However, with considerate preparation and responsible attitude, the process can be very fun and meaningful.
