They’re your closest friends, the people you most want to stand next to you as you say, “I do.”
Your bridesmaids and groomsmen also have important jobs to do! Here’s a cheat sheet of wedding party responsibilities to help those friends know how to help you plan and celebrate your wedding.

• help out with the big decisions like dress and tuxedo shopping
• get the bridal party organized before and during the wedding
• attend all wedding-related events
• help lead the guests in the ceremony and reception activities
• hold your rings
• sign the marriage license and make it official!

• attend showers and parties
• stand with you at the ceremony
• help lead the guests in the reception activities
Ushers
You (and your guests) would be lost without ushers! Here’s what they do…
