<strong>Tips</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Best</strong> <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Bride’s</strong> <strong>Maid</strong><br />
<strong>without</strong> <strong>Going</strong> <strong>Broke</strong><br />
So your <strong>be</strong>st friend or close relative is getting married and you have <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong><br />
her bridesmaid. Being part of the bridal gang is fun, exciting and sometimes<br />
can give you a run for your money. Don’t worry, we have some amazing<br />
tips for <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> bridesmaid <strong>to</strong> look great and have fun <strong>without</strong> going broke!
1. Mark Your Calendar<br />
Mark your calendar for the wedding the same day that you get the<br />
invite. You don’t want <strong>to</strong> miss out <strong>be</strong>ing your <strong>be</strong>st friend’s bridesmaid,<br />
and you don’t want <strong>to</strong> go over the budget. So mark the date, decide the<br />
travel date, and book the tickets (you get cheaper rates if you book<br />
early) if you have <strong>to</strong> travel. Get organized.
2. Don’t Overdo it<br />
You’ve saved the date, and you’re expecting bachelorette parties, bridal<br />
showers and what not. If you’re a bridesmaid, you’ve taken this with<br />
honor; keep that intact. Don’t overburden yourself with other things<br />
such as arranging a party that you won’t feel good about later. Do what<br />
you feel happy doing and enjoy yourself with the bride. Share love,<br />
laughter and joy.
3. Make a Budget<br />
An expensive and overpriced present doesn’t necessarily mean it’s<br />
worthwhile or valuable. Keep a budget for presents and stay under it.<br />
Plan ahead of time so you can think of presents that may <strong>be</strong><br />
inexpensive but surely valuable and the bride will enjoy.
4. Pool in with others<br />
Another money saving technique is <strong>to</strong> pool in money and get a big<br />
ticket gift. You can get in <strong>to</strong>uch with other bridesmaid and share the<br />
cost of one big item such as furniture, and other costly items. This can<br />
save you money and keep you away from the guilt of giving a poor<br />
meaningless present.
5. Seize the Sales<br />
Spending a fortune on one dress simply sounds unrealistic. <strong>The</strong> <strong>be</strong>st<br />
thing <strong>to</strong> do is look for sales. If the wedding is in summer, go buy lots of<br />
dresses on discount and save on costs. This way, you can get five or<br />
more dresses on sale in the price of one <strong>without</strong> a sale. Think sale, grab<br />
the opportunity and buy in bulk. You won’t have <strong>to</strong> fret for dresses two<br />
days <strong>be</strong>fore the wedding then.
Being a bridesmaid is fun so enjoy yourself and let the magic roll.<br />
Wedding planning is fun, if you’re close <strong>to</strong> the bridal party. Many<br />
wedding and event planners offer amazing services for weddings so<br />
the brides can <strong>be</strong> stress free and enjoy the pre wedding time with their<br />
loved ones. For more information on wedding planners in NY, log on<br />
