Communication is key in any relationship, and it’s especially crucial when planning a wedding. So, be sure to keep your bridesmaids in the loop about important dates, details, and changes.
Whether it’s about the dress fittings, rehearsal dates, or travel plans, make sure they have all the information they need well in advance. This will help them plan accordingly and avoid any last-minute surprises.
Take Finances Into Account
Weddings only get more expensive year after year – not just for the bride and groom, but also for the bridal party. That’s why you need to be mindful of the financial burden you might be placing on your bridesmaids.
When it comes to attire, choose dresses that are affordable. Or, offer to cover part of the cost.
And if you’re planning destination events like a bachelorette party, consider how much it will cost each bridesmaid and be flexible with those who might not be able to afford it.
Remember, friendship isn’t about money, so you should never sever ties with a bridesmaid just because they can’t afford something.
Respect Their Time
Also, keep in mind that your bridesmaids have their own lives, responsibilities, and commitments. You can respect their time by being organized and considerate of that.
For instance, you should schedule fittings and planning sessions at convenient times and be understanding if they can’t make it to every single event.
Yes, their role is to support you, but it’s not to be at your beck and call 24/7.
