The day finally came and my sister’s wedding has come and gone. I am still exhausted from it all as the festivities went on for days. But everything came off beautifully due to countless hours of work and coordination done by my mother and sister. I found it difficult to choose on what to write about as there were days of parties. So for now I will just stick to the actually wedding day.
I have to give kudos to my sister and her now husband on their table arrangements. A daunting task when you are not only placing people at a table but also seating them. Here is one trick that they were given in this process. Take a paper plate and cut it into pie slices. Have the number of slices match the number of people at the table. Then put the invites names on the slices. This makes it easy to move people around and visually see it, before actually writing it down.

I feel from many conversations with brides & bridesmaids, there can be a lot of misconceptions of the roles and expectations of the bridesmaid from both sides. I have seen friendships damaged from an experience that is suppose to be joyous. As for the men reading this who think this might not apply to you – I am sure you have a friend, girlfriend, sister, wife, or fiance who is either a bride or bridesmaid. This, in fact, could be helpful information to have. Here are just a few points on the role of a Bridesmaid.
PLEASE let me know about some of your experiences (I am sure there are many) and of points that should be added so we all can learn!!! THANK YOU…
- Best to always accept the invitation of being a bridesmaid
- If you cannot afford the responsibility bring it up at a later date, not when you are asked.
- Be on time
- The maid of honor is there to share with the bride all the excitement that goes along with all parts of the wedding plans.
- Make sure to pick up your bridesmaid dress in a reasonable amount of time in case of additional fittings
- Be a good communicator with information- don’t count on information reached everyone
- Organize Bachelorette party
- Help out where you can with ideas, driving around scouting out locations etc.
- Help out at rehearsal dinner- Bride and Groom’s family might be a little pre-occupied and forget about things that could be rather important.
- Help the bride getting into her dress- and know how to bustle!

Summertime is the height of the wedding season and this past summer I was asked numerous questions about weddings ranging from gifts to attire to responses. In honor of my sister’s recent engagement I thought I would do a category on Weddings.
Congratulations to Carolyn and Evan!
