Nobody teaches you to be a bridesmaid. Of course, you can browse wedding forums or highlight the pages of a bridesmaid survival guide. You learn what not to do while watching the film Bridesmaids, or you can ask a veteran of the maid of honor for some tips. If you are a bridesmaid rookie, or someone who has more time they can count, here are 10 things that no one ever told you to be a bridesmaid.
1. It's expensive (but it should not be).
When it comes to spending money on the bridal shower or bachelorette party, considering the budgetary limits for the maid of honor from the start.
2. You can wedding weekend mini-vacation.
Once your bridesmaid functions come to wrap, take a vacation in the rest of the weekend, especially if you are traveling to a new destination.
3. Your body will accumulate some damage throughout the wedding.
Week thing blisters that cling to your toes, headaches that linger before the "day" and exhaustion a day spa can try to heal.
