Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.or so the old saying goes. If you have been recruited by a friend or family to stand up for them in their wedding as a bridesmaid or groomsman, remember this is an honor, even if the dress is bad.

2 . Etiquette for the Bridesmaid and Groomsman

Etiquette is largely common sense, and that applies to wedding etiquette as well. It is the responsibility of the bridesmaid or groomsman to help and support the happy couple. The bridesmaids and groomsmen should regularly check in with the bride and groom, and see if they need help addressing invitations, making wedding selections, or staying organized. Many brides enjoy taking their bridesmaids along dress shopping, or having them there as moral support through the wedding planning phase.

Bridesmaids can also help with addressing wedding invitations, keeping records of gifts, organizing showers and the bachelorette party, and assisting the bride with any errands and planning. The bridesmaids should be conscientious when planning the shower and any associated parties that you invite everyone who should be invited. Consider speaking with the bride about who she would like to invite. The bride may also find it helpful to have the bridesmaids assist with dress selection and fitting, picking a menu, choosing flowers and other wedding tasks.

3 . Throwing the Shower

If this is your first bridal shower, you may be feeling a bit lost and confused. Bridal showers can be women-only events, or you can host a couple's shower. Typically, the maid or matron of honor hosts the shower, but the other bridesmaids can certainly offer to assist with expenses, planning and details. If a family member chooses to host a family shower, the bridesmaids can offer help and assistance, or throw a shower for the bride's friends, or a couple's shower.

Everyone wants the shower to be memorable and fun. Shower games are popular, and one fun option is to ask all guests to bring a baby picture and try to identify them. The bridesmaids can choose to do an afternoon tea, a morning brunch, or even a cocktail hour or barbeque in Massachusetts. Some of the more unusual options may be ideal for a couple's shower. All shower guests should be invited to the wedding. Consider throwing a theme shower. Some popular bridal shower themes are a kitchen shower, a lingerie shower, or a 24 hour shower, where each guest is assigned a time of day. Whether you throw a traditional afternoon tea for friends and family or a fun couple's barbeque, make the shower fun, tasteful, and memorable.

4 . The Bachelorette Party in Massachusetts

Planning the bachelorette party can be a lot of fun for the bridesmaids, but some common sense and good taste should be used. Be sure that the bride will be comfortable with whatever you are planning. There are many options for the bachelorette party and not all of them involve the old fashioned clichés of too many drinks and a stripper. Some women opt for a spa day in Massachusetts with all their friends as a bachelorette party, or an outing they would all enjoy, such as dessert at a tea house or a night out dancing. Even one last weekend away with friends to relax during the rush of wedding planning can be a lovely bachelorette party idea.

The bride should never pay her own way at the bachelorette party, so keep it affordable for all of the guests at the party. Avoid planning the party for the night before the wedding, as the bride will likely have things to do, and needs her rest the night before. Make sure to plan time to toast the bride, and have a bit of fun. The bachelorette party can be a fun time to give those gifts that you might rather the bride’s grandmother not see. Regardless of what is planned, make the bachelorette a fun night with the girls celebrating friendship.
