Obviously, you and your future spouse are the main VIPs at your wedding – but aside from you, there are also many other people without whom the entire Big Day would be sadder, less joyous, and perhaps less memorable as well.
Your bridesmaids and groomsmen are among these people – and we are more than certain that you want to show them just how thankful you are for all their support before and during the Big Day, as well as their endless patience, limitless smiles, and never-ending comforting hugs.
How to show your wedding party you truly appreciate what they have done for you?
Here are some tips:
- Dress them well. Yes, they might have to pay for their own dresses and tuxedos – but you will most likely be the one who chooses their designs. Dress them well in every respect – pick cuts and fabrics and colors that are flattering for most people, and make it easy for your friends to wear these attires. It’s a matter of comfort, in the end – you wouldn’t feel great dressed in a gown that’s way too puffy for your small stature, for example. So why would your bridesmaids suffer this way?
- Be kind. Wedding planning can get extremely stressful – and this is not meant to scare you out in any way, it’s just the pure and simple truth. When they embarked on the journey of being your wedding attendants, your bridesmaids and groomsmen more or less knew what they are getting themselves into – but that’s no reason to be unkind or unjust to them. Just like you, they are people – they have their lives, and maybe even their own families to spend time with. Don’t get mad at them for small things, and allow them to be as free as possible in terms of pre-wedding arrangements and commitments. It is, in many ways, the greatest sign of gratitude!
- Offer them a gift. In general, wedding party gifts are offered at the rehearsal dinner – but it’s not an unbeatable rule, so feel free to do it whenever you feel more comfortable with it. Don’t skimp on this: treat your lovely ladies and kind gentlemen with something they will always enjoy – be it a small bracelet, a bottle of champagne, or a pair of cufflinks!
