Hello! First of all, you care so much about this problem and are bent on doing it well, which shows that you care about and respect your friends. Here, as a wedding person, I want to thank you.
Your question is so good that most people will ignore it. Even at the wedding planning meeting, this issue is rarely discussed, but it does relate to the friendship between friends, especially the friendship between sisters.
The question about help is this: the specific work is mainly done by the man, and the woman's friends don't have to do many specific things. But it is important to come to the bride and let her feel a kind of psychological support. When a girl gets married, her feelings are very rich. I have the feeling of leaving my biological parents, the joy of combining with my husband, the joy of being accommodated by my husband's family, and the difficulty of getting along with many relatives. Emotions are very sensitive. At this time, if you have a close friend who cares about your friends like you, you will feel very safe psychologically. Feel supported, feel supported.
So, don't study so much to do. You can appear in your friend's boudoir and accompany her on her big day, which is the best help for her.
If you have to study what you want to do specifically, then two words: "companionship". If you like, go to make-up with the bride, hide your shoes and block the door before the groom comes, and prepare some questions to set off. In addition, you can think of a few words to teach the groom to take good care of your best friend and the bride's entrustment, and ask him to treat our best friend well.
When the groom picks up the bride, your business is still a "company". You can't let the groom pick up the bride alone, but you can be close friends. Your position is very high at this time. You are one of the "new relatives".
After the ceremony, according to the bride's situation, she can sometimes accompany the bride to return the wedding dress. Because many bridal shops charge by the day. If the newcomer wants to have a rest, you'd better save your energy.
As for clothes, it seems that friends don't need to change.
About gifts. I think we should stick to the concept of "companionship". When you are not around, the gift you give represents that you are with your best friend. I think giving money is the most common and the least memorable. I think you'd better think of an item that your close friends can keep at home, that can be used frequently, that won't be damaged all year round, and that your friends like very much. If it is too expensive, you can send it with a few close friends. In this way, this gift means that you will always be with your close friend and always express your blessing to your close friend.
Thank you again for being so affectionate and honest to your close friends. I hope your care and love will always be with your best friend.
