Wedster

Hi everyone! Our new intern, Betsy, has just started with us. She is majoring in Communications at one of the local colleges in Hampton Roads. We are so excited to have her as part of our team. 

We asked her to write her first blog and here it is...

Choosing your wedding party can be a tricky task. Whether you plan on being surrounded by dozens or just a handful of special people, you  want to choose the ones that mean the most to you. Of course, there’s no right and wrong way to pick your attendants, but looking back years later, these people are those that you could never imagine not having in your wedding. Whether it’s your sister, college roommate, childhood friend, or co-worker,  you will want that person to be a special someone who can rise to the occasion.

Your bridesmaids, and specifically your maid of honor, will traditionally be in charge of numerous tasks, both on your wedding day and months before. Dress shopping, holding the bride’s bouquet during the ceremony, planning or hosting the shower and bachelorette party, bustling the dress and straightening your train, and giving a toast at the reception may be the most obvious duties, but that isn’t where the responsibilities end. You will also want your wedding party on board to help with the less glamorous things as well. Addressing invitations, spreading the word about where you are registered, helping with RSVPs, keeping record of all the gifts, taking care of your gown and keeping you happy and smiling, should also be things that they can gladly and confidently attend to.
