Planning a wedding is a big task, if anyone
says that it is easy...they are not being truthful! While it is fun, your
wedding planning will consist of a lot of decision making, shopping and
coordinating, but luckily, it is a task that you do not have to face alone.
By your side, throughout your wedding
planning process, as well as the day of your wedding, you will have attendants
that will each be assisting you. Your wedding attendants will consist of your
closest friends and relatives, and they will all have their own duties in regards
to their role in your big day.
Although your wedding attendants will of
course look exquisite on your big day, that is not their only duty. Whether it
be moral support, ceremony duties, reception encouragement or planning an
impressive Bachelor or Bachelorette Party, your wedding attendants are there to
offer you nothing but help, which is why I Thee Wed has gathered the top
wedding attendant roles and the descriptions of their duties, so be sure to
continue reading to gain some knowledge:
·
Maid of Honor.
The maid of honor is, to sum it up, the Bride’s rock. Offering emotional
support when things get hectic and acting as your second set of eyes throughout
your wedding planning process, your Maid of Honor will be your right-hand gal. In
addition to her main role of support, she will also take on a number of numerous
wedding day responsibilities, such as helping the Bride prepare for her walk down
the aisle, holding the Bride's bouquet during your vows, signing the marriage
certificate as a witness, collecting gifts at the reception and frequently
reminding the Bride of how beautiful she looks. Also, we can’t forget that your Maid
of Honor will also be in charge of throwing a fabulous Bachelorette Party!
·
Bridesmaids.
With all of the tasks that your Maid of Honor takes on, she deserves a little
help, and your Bridesmaids will take on the role as not only the Bride’s
support system, but the Maid of Honors as well. Your Bridesmaids will be of assistance to all of the
tasks that your Maid of Honor has been delegated with, making sure that the
Bride is nothing but relaxed and able to enjoy her big day to the fullest.
Also, they will assist in the planning of the Bachelorette Party too, if the
Maid of Honor is in need of some assistance.
·
Best Man. The
Groom’s Best Man acts as his keeper, that is, until you two legally tie the
knot and the Bride inherits that task. Becoming the Groom’s eye for fashion,
personal aide, support and captain of the Groomsmen, your Best Man will
certainly have his hand full. Also, he has the opportunity to plan an
entertaining Bachelor party for the Groom’s last night as an unmarried man.
· Groomsmen. The
Groom’s Groomsmen are his and the Best Man’s troops, as they both will need
some helping hands on the big day. Taking on duties such as valet parking and ushering,
the Groomsmen will have a lot of interactions with your guests, if needed, and
be available to answer any questions as well. The groomsmen also help the best man plan
and pay for that coveted Bachelor Party as too.
Planning a wedding and then carrying it
out can be stressful, so you certainly should not be afraid to take advantage
of the help that you have at your disposal, your wedding attendants. Here at I Thee Wed, our goal is to assist
