Show Your Bridesmaids How Much You Care

Your bridesmaids and maid of honor have accepted your invitation to be a part of your special day. They are going to be doing everything they can to make sure your wedding dreams all come true. In return you need to be kind, patient, and considerate of their efforts. No one wants their best friend to turn into Bride-zilla. Let them remember your special day as fondly as you do.

Cut Down on the Planning

Make sure you keep the travel plans simple for your wedding party. They already have to take time off work, travel to be with you, find a gift, and have their clothing ready to go. Help them out by finding a nearby hotel where they can reserve a room without having to search the internet. Look for amenities like a complimentary breakfast, onsite restaurant, and spa services. You can even arrange transportation to the church for them.

Keep Costs to a Minimum

Don’t make your bridesmaids regret the day they agreed to be in your wedding. It can be tempting to choose the dress of your dreams for the girls to wear, but if they are too expensive, no one will be happy. Search for inexpensive options that have the same style and color you originally picked out. Be flexible when it comes to footwear. No one wants an expensive pair of shoes they’ll never wear again.

A Token of Your Appreciation

It is customary to give a small gift to each member of the wedding party. This could be something like one of the Willow Tree figurines from Coppin’s Hallmark or a piece of jewelry they can wear during the wedding. You can also choose something untraditional such as gift cards for restaurants in the area or gas cards for those that are coming from far away to share in your special day.

By using these simple ideas to show your gratitude to your bridesmaids you will be making your wedding day a special event in everyone’s life. Even when things get hectic and it feels like nothing is going as planned, keep in mind that these are your closest friends and family members. They are there because they love you.
