Task and Responsibilities of a Bridesmaid

Do you, Bridesmaid, know what are your task and responsibilities during wedding?

I’ve chosen mine..BUT do they know their duties and responsibility? Hehehe Malay Weddings are Different than other culture’s wedding. So, I guess one of the most important things is to have the knowledge about Malay Wedding. Tatasusila pun penting sangat. and menghormati org yang lebih tua. Other than that are as below:

PLAN – The bridesmaids typically plan and pay for a party to “shower” the bride with gifts to help stock her new home.  Take note, though, in some larger, expensive cities like New York (in which throwing a nice shindig might cost a month’s rent!) some brides’ parents are chipping in on the shower to defray the costs for the working bridesmaids.

PARTY – The showers are just the beginning of the festivities.  The fun times continue with the bachelorette party.  Who says only the guys get to have a final sendoff to singlehood?  And don’t forget about the biggest party of all: the wedding reception.  So make sure you’re ready to keep the mojo going on the dance floor.  After all, the bridesmaids must put the party in “wedding party!”

PAY ATTENTION – This is the bridesmaid’s biggest task, yet sometimes the most mbiguous.  It’s your job to pay attention to the bride from the moment she asks you to join her on this journey to the moment she waves goodbye for the honeymoon.  This means the obvious: listen to her vent when her mother is turning into a tyrant about the centerpieces or when the groom is procrastinating with his family’s guest address list.  But there’s also the not-so-obvious: offer to stuff invitations or help with the seating chart when her voice starts to quiver because she’s drowning in details for the wedding.

Help with preparations and dressing the bride, Tho’ dressing up will be done by the MUAs tapi Bridesmaid (1 or 2) should be there to help out too

Help get the Bride ready before the ceremony, calming any nerves..biasalah kan pengantin..mesti tengah gusar..gundah gulana time wedding… heheh ada yg sampai nangis2 tu hehe

You will be in the procession and recessional, typically behind the bride on her way up the aisle and behind the wedding party on the way down the aisle.

During the reception, a bridesmaids should circulate and make contact with fellow guests. Jangan lalai duduk d pelamin dengan pengantin sja. You should mingle around. Help the family melayan tetamu yang hadir… Report kalau ada apa apa masalah mcm makanan nda cukup kah..minuman nda cukup kah..ada org lambat dtg nada tempat duduk kah.. nada door gift kah. Don’t just sit and keep quiet. Must also take note on the timeline of majlis..jangan sampai dragging. Mesti ingat when is the time utk makan…when is the time utk potong cake etc.

Basically, Being a bridesmaid ani have to do some WORK too not just berlawa and mengiringi pengantin. and as for me... yang paling penting, not only temankan me..but also my MOM... coz she'll be alone. Selalu nya im always around next to her..but during my wedding...i' ll be atas pelamin...so, teman teman kan lah my mom. 

Guess that's all for info
