THE BRIDESMAIDS<br />

to support her during the wedding planning process and on the wedding<br />

day itself. The specific duties can vary but the overarching goal is to be<br />

there for the bride and contribute to making her wedding day<br />

memorable and enjoyable


PRE -WEDDING<br />

EVENTS<br />

Pre-wedding events are traditional or cultural celebrations that take place<br />

before the actual wedding day. These events provide an opportunity for<br />

the couple, their families, and friends to come together, celebrate, and<br />

prepare for the wedding. The specific pre-wedding events can vary, but<br />

here are some common ones:<br />

Bachelor/Bachelorette Party: A celebration for the bride and groom<br />

separately, usually organized by their friends. A time for the couple to<br />

enjoy one last celebration with their friends before marriage.<br />

Cocktail Party: An evening event where guests can socialize, enjoy drinks,<br />

and celebrate in a more relaxed atmosphere.<br />

Rehearsal Dinner: Common in Western traditions, it's a dinner held the<br />

night before the wedding where the bridal party, family, and close friends<br />

gather.<br />

Gift Exchange: In some cultures, the families exchange gifts as a symbol of<br />

mutual respect and goodwill.
