Can we count the amount of Bridesmaid Crimes committed in Bridesmaids? Let's not really try.

Look, as being a bridesmaid CAN be a drag, but let's remember: You subscribed to the job! (I'm assuming the bride to be asked and also you said yes, right?) So if you've decided to the "honor," try your very best to do your bridesmaid-ly duties having a smile in your face—and DON'T commit these 5 Bridesmaid Crimes.

DON'T bitch concerning the prom dresses unless you're ready to help pick an alternate.

Finding one dress that each bridesmaid will LOVE is hard—and also you're permitted to feel "meh" about this. But don't bitch to the bride to be unless your concerns are legit. ("I feel uncomfortable inside a dress that low-cut" and "I cannot afford to spend $400" are legit complaints. "I can't stand wearing pink" isn't.) And if you're likely to complain concerning the problem, do the bride to be a solid and provide up some decent alternatives. And your alt picks ought to be pretty similar towards the dress she chose. Look for any more modest version of her low-cut pick or perhaps a less-expensive version from the spendy dress she likes. But don't return at her having a dress this is a different color, another length, and another fabric. If she wanted you to definitely wear YOUR favorite dress, she would have asked.

DON'T drag ass when the bride to be gives you a deadline.

Look, the bride to be asked you to definitely order your prom dress shops(or book hair appointment or accommodation or whatever) by X date for any reason, not because she enjoys badgering her friends. So don't make her ask you again. (And over and over and over and over.) If you can't meet a deadline, tell the bride to be right away, and remind her when you'll get the task done: "I know you requested us to order our dresses by Friday, but I have to wait until I get paid in a few days. I'll order it through the following Thursday and email to show you the order is within." (MUCH easier than dodging the bride to be's calls til you have the cash, right?!)

DON'T ignore the bride to be's taste when you are planning the shower and also the bachelorette.

My ideal vacation involves a couple of days on a secluded beach with my besties, a collection of tabloid mags, along with a never-ending way to obtain strawberry daiquiris. But it would not be fair to plan MY ideal trip for any girl who'd prefer wild nights in Vegas or perhaps an afternoon in the spa. Defer to what the bride to be wants, even when it's not your concept of a good time. And the same applies to the bridal shower: If you know your friend would rather a small, casual get-together, don't throw her a blowout gala in a country club—no matter just how much her future mother-in-law insists.

DON'T pull a disappearing act on her behalf wedding day.

The ONE day you're necessary to be there like a bridesmaid is the big day. Yes, you need to enjoy the festivities too, try not to abandon the bride to be in favor of dry-humping your plus-one around the dance floor through the night. I'm not saying you have to tail the bride to be and ask "What do you want NOW? How about NOW?" through the night. (You're not a real maid, in the end!) But offer her your full attention prior to the ceremony, don't make her hunt you down for pictures, and check-in together with her every so often and get if you can grab her a drink or something like that.

DON'T get super drunk before giving your speech.

Um, duh, right? But I've seen enough drunken speeches that I HAVE to mention that one. The bubbly will likely be flowing freely all morning, but limit yourself to a glass or two if someone's likely to hand you the mic during dinner. Deal?

Did you've any bad bridesmaids? Have you ever *Oops! * been a poor bridesmaid? What are the worst Bridesmaid Crimes you've seen a woman commit?
