11 Ways to Make Your Bridesmaids Feel Special

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!
