I would never ask my friends (bridesmaids) to do all that. That's a huge commitment.


Um, that is the whole point of having bridesmaids.  Do you think they are chosen to just stand up on the big day and look cute?

I just had my bridal shower a week ago and it was awesome. My maid of honor was in charge of it all and delegated tasks to the other bridemaids.
It's what they are supposed to do.
Really?  I thought the whole point of having bridesmaids was having people you love stand up with you at your wedding.


If that were strictly the case, then everyone at the wedding would be standing up with me.  There are many reasons behind the choices of bridemaids, and part of the responsibility of accepting to be one is to contribute to the traditions the bride experiences.
I'm surprised some people think it's just to stand by your side because you love them and that is it.  I just got back from my wedding experience in Cabo and it was amazing. smiley: happy


Why are you surprised, many many brides choose their BMs for that reason alone. There are brides in both camps: the ones who choose them because they're expecting certain responsibilities to be handled by them and brides who choose their BMs because just of the relationship she has with them, not because she has expectations for their duties.
