1. Ask them to be in your wedding party in a special way.

2. Connect bridesmaids who don't know each
other before the wedding festivities begin. Then they can get to know
each other and be a team leading up to your big day.

3. Let them mix and match dresses. Not one bridesmaid is the same and
neither is their budget or body shape. Give your bridesmaids a swatch of
the color(s) you are wanting and let them have the freedom to choose
style and price range. This is a win, win as your bridesmaids will be
comfortable in their selection and will likely have invested in a dress
they will wear again for other occasions.

5. Periodically gush over wedding details
with them during the planning process. They will love to hear about the
vision you have for your day and the selections you make along the way.

6. Give them a detailed schedule of the
wedding weekend before hand including what aspects are mandatory and
which are not. They will appreciate you communicating with them so they
are able to make proper arrangements for themselves, and their children,
etc..
7. Give them small day-of tasks. They will feel appreciated if they can
help you check off your to do list rather than just showing up and
looking pretty.

8. Let them sit with their families or significant other at the
reception. It's only fair to let them sit with
the people they really want to be with.Bridesmaids with husbands and
kids have been away from them all day and you'll be next to your honey
happy as can be.

9. Thank each of your bridesmaids individually with a hug before your
wedding reception exit. It is likely that you'll be jetting off on a
honeymoon and be unplugged on vacation with your now husband for a
while. Make sure you show some love to each of them before the night is
over.

10. Gift your girls something personalized. It is so much more meaningful
than gifting them identical things. This way they really cherish the
thought that was put into it.

11. Take fun pictures with your girls. It
is obvious that you will have prepped and focused on portraits you plan
to do with your groom but put yourself in your bridesmaids shoes. Their
favorite images from the day will be the goofy, silly poses you take
together - so make a plan and do some exciting shots with them too!
