Wedding Worksheets

If you run into trouble trying to make everybody happy, explain to the bride that she could also consider slightly different styles of the same color dress (or the same style in varying colors) to flatter each member of the wedding party. Whoever said that everyone has to look like identical twins? Suggest that the bride tinker with pattern and color so that the bridesmaids will be happy. Remember that picking out the same dress for several women can be one of the most stressful parts of the wedding planning and the bride will lean on you for support.

Also keep in mind that you're going to have to pay for your own dress. Unless the bride offers, you'll probably have to pay also for your own shoes and jewelry. If the bride insists that you have your hair, nails and make-up professionally done for the wedding, it is customary for her to offer to pay for these services . . . but don't depend on it. You may be expected to pay for all aspects of your appearance on the wedding day. If you think the cost of being a member of the wedding party is going to be an issue for you, make sure to explain your feelings to the bride very early in the process. She's sure to choose more moderately-priced dresses and accessories if she knows you don't have much money to waste.
