Too many couples assume that once they have selected their bridesmaids and groomsmen, they are finished. Unfortunately, many people do not know what it means to be in a bridal party. Bridesmaids and groomsmen need to do more than just look pretty. Put these people to work! If the members of your wedding party know the 'whos', 'whats', 'whens', and 'whys', they will be able to handle many of the details that may derail the enjoyment of what should be your happiest day. Many sites will tell you the traditional roles for your wedding party. I am going to give you some tips on additional (and non-traditional) jobs for your bridesmaids and groomsmen to perform, so that you can spend your time on more important details. Babysitter: Make it the responsibility of someone in your wedding party to know where the rest of the wedding party is at all times. When the time comes for someone to make a toast, the wedding party dance, the dollar dance, the garter auction, games, etc. it is frustrating for everyone to be waiting for that one person who is outside, in the bathroom, or talking to your cute cousin. Activity Leader: Put your bravest party animal in charge of leading activities. This person needs to be someone willing to lead a bunny hop, talk on a mike, lead people to the dance floor, etc. Clean-Up Crew: Assign the task of making sure that nothing is left behind to one of your attendants. It will be that person's job to check the area of the ceremony, reception, and dance to make sure that none of the wedding party leaves things like bags, purses, shoes, coats, wallets, keys, etc. Nanny: Find your most child-loving attendant, and give him or her the task of shepherding children off the dance floor during special events and dances. Children are great, but they do not realize that the bride and groom's first dance is not an appropriate time for them to be chasing bubbles on the dance floor. Designated Driver: Do not forget this important job! There is no need to let senseless tragedy ruin your perfect night. While these are not traditional roles for your average wedding party, assigning someone to these tasks will make your day less stressful so that you can spend your time making your wedding beautiful.
