    Groomsmen were great. My MOH was great...my bridesmaid was 2 hours late to do my makeup and 45 minutes late to the wedding and showed up not dressed. We made a substitution with my husband's nephew. I have pictures of him carrying the bouquet. I think i'm down a lifelong friend sadly

    I just asked my moh to make sure my veil is nice and spread out when ive already walked down the aisle. Other than that everything should be me and fiances problem not theirs.

    Show up on time with their outfits in hand. My mom and dad provided us lunch since our hair and makeup started early. I did ask one of my bridesmen to bring his Bluetooth speaker for music. That was all.

    Asked a few of the girls to come dress shopping with me. Asked one to help me decide on a color by participating in trial try ons before inviting the rest.

    I had a DOC, so we hired someone to be "working" on the wedding day. All the mothers, bridal party & me had to do was show up & get ready.

    THIS. My friends and family are just as much my guests as the rest. They're actually the honored guests. Not the hired help.

    None, because they are not my employees. They were invited to the showers, bachelorette dinner and were there on the wedding day. Some came to everything, some came to none. On the day of, they were responsible for themselves because I planned everything - there was no need for them to have "duties".

    I didn't actually ask them for anything. My MOH is doing serious research and helping me with so much just in talking it all out. Let me explain how close we are. She is my absolute BESTIE! She is there for any and all conversations and she is just amazing! She even had a dream about the wedding where we forgot napkins and she called me in a panic about it HAHA. She has stated she will be planning the girls party and she will be my "thug life enforcer" day of the wedding.

    As far as the others well they will be doing their thing. I haven't given them anything to do but I am certain they will just spring into action and take care of what ever needs to be done. They are those kind of girls.

    None. I couldn’t relay on mine to even check the card box.

    I didn't assign them to do anything. I had them come shopping with me to look for bridesmaids dresses, 2 couldn't come, and I'm asking them to stay the night with me the night before the wedding. Kinda like a girl's night. I guess you could call it my bachelorette party. I can't wait. We'll probably ask the best man to hold onto the rings and I'm sure if I need help going to the bathroom, my sister/MOH won't mind helping me.

    My best friend is my MOH she has volunteered to plan my bridal shower and bachelorette party. God knows I'm thankful for her. But I don't plan to ask my bridesmaids for much. I just need them to buy their dresses and be on time for the events.
