YOUR Bridesmaid Duties as a Pregnant BridesmaidHow to be sure you don't take on too much!You need to understand your bridesmaid duties, because it's such an honour to be asked to be a bridesmaid ... and you need to know what you're expected to do!
As a pregnant bridesmaid, you also need to be totally confident that you'll be able to carry out all of your duties throughout the lead-up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself ... it's definitely not all about choosing a fabulous maternity bridesmaid dress, following the bride up the aisle and smiling for the cameras!So what have you really let yourself in for then? Here's the scoop on what being a pregnant bridesmaid is really all about ... 1. Your Bridesmaid Duties Before The Wedding DayMonths before the actual wedding day, adult bridesmaids usually get together with the bride-to-be to help with planning and preparations.One of the most enjoyable bridesmaid duties is when the bridesmaids go shopping with the bride to help choose dresses and accessories both for the bride herself and for the bridesmaids. And while this IS the fun bit, remember ... Before anyone buys anything, it's important to be very clear about who is paying for what! Traditionally, the bride / bride's family will pay for the bridesmaids' outfits, however times do change and it's worth checking your assumptions before any financial commitments are made. As a general rule, if you're paying for your own bridesmaid dress, you should expect to choose it ... if the bride / bride's family are paying, be prepared to be flexible and fit in with their wishes! 2. Bridesmaid Duties at the Hen or Bachelorette Party
Big boozy hen parties or bachelorette parties are very popular, however some brides prefer to have a pampering party at home. The key to organising a successful event is finding out what the bride-to-be wants. Questions to ask youself ... just because you're pregnant
