Bridesmaid Ideas - Thanksgiving Fun for Bridesmaids
It is already time for the leaves to change color, for us to set our clocks back one hour and for Thanksgiving traditions, with the added value of being a bridesmaid during this great fall season. Bridesmaid planning can be tough during this season since there are many holiday events to get ready for.

A great bridesmaid idea is to focus on things we give thanks for, including our families, new families and friends and health/happiness. It is a great time to help the bride out with the many different choices and stressors she may have during the wedding planning. Having the bridesmaid support will mean a lot to her.

Decorate the bridal shower in fall colors and leaves also using colorful autumn flower arrangements. Ask the bride what her favorite flowers are of the season. Have the bridesmaids discuss what they give thanks for, focusing on the friendship of the bride-to-be, which is special. Have all the bridesmaids write them down for a keepsake book, which will be a great bridesmaid gift for the bride-to-be! It is always fun to play bridal shower games and spread them out during the party.

Fall is also a great time to throw a bachelorette party since the weather is more cool and venues are more open and reasonable. In this economic time, we suggest using bachelorette party fun for your supplies since they have the lowest prices, no sales tax and offer free shipping while always placing a free gift in your order.

If you are the maid of honor you can tie in the season of thanks in the maid of honor speech. Just make sure to give yourself enough time to write! In this economy, go in together with other bridesmaids on the bridal shower gift as there are great deals out there.

Check out some pretty fall bridesmaid dresses and start early so you have time during this fall season to alter or make sure the bridal store gets it right. Accent the bridesmaid dresses with cute items that are fall related. It is also a great time to give during the Thanksgiving bridesmaid season so donate to one of your favorite charities if you have the funds as there are many in need.

Happy Thanksgiving to all (even for those outside of the US). Visit our Bridesmaid Seasonal Ideas and our bridesmaid resources and have an amazing season!

Fall is becoming a more popular time to be a bridesmaid as there are more and more weddings during the end of the year than ever before. The key is to plan as early as possible since you don't want to leave too much until right before the bachelorette party or bridal shower.

Get all the bridesmaid's numbers early so you can start the bridal buzz and banter. Have some fun and get to know the girls that you will be sharing a few fun events with. See who wants to help out and start to plan away! For the bachelorette party choose a venue that suites the bride-to-be. Make sure to bring lots of supplies and games. Our suggestion is to use the cheapest and best bachelorette party store which has the best prices online and off. They also offer free shipping, no sales tax and a free bachelorette party gift which is bachelorette party fun.

For the bridal shower, choose a venue that takes the weather and economy into consideration as both are going to get colder!

As for decorations, bring in the fall colors with pretty fall leaves while serving holiday favorites like pumpkin pie, cranberry drinks and yummy turkey and cucumber finger sandwiches and vegetables!

The perfect bridal shower begins with the perfect summer theme. Luaus are a great way to say Aloha and help your bride celebrate her special occasion. You can create this magical event poolside, beach side, or you can even bring it inside at a beautiful restaurant. Either way, the decoration possibilities are endless. Bring in the vibrant colors, sounds and smells of Hawaii with tropical flowers, Hawaiian music and tropical scented candles.

Decorate your guests with cute plastic lei's, but let your bride know how special she is with her very own fresh orchid lei or you can check out the Bachelorette Party Naughty Lei for the bride-to-be and the classic lei's as a prelude to the bachelorette party fun yet to come.

Bridal Shower favors help your bridesmaid guests remember how much fun they had helping your bride celebrate her impending wedding day - in keeping with the theme, flip flop frames or Hawaiian flower frames are a great little keepsake and also serve well as a place card for your special guests.

Menu planning for a Luau might include cooking a kalua pig in an underground oven, but if that's too much trouble why not try teriyaki chicken, fresh fish, salad and fresh tropical fruits. Serve tropical drinks of the season such as Mai Tai's and Pena Coladas! Check out our bridesmaid planning page for more great general and helpful ideas!

When planning your summer bachelorette party, it's important to keep cool, but think hot! Lounging by the pool sipping refreshing drinks with your colorful straws and laughing with your friends is a terrific way to kick off the party and keep cool in the process. When it's time to hit the town, sundresses, strappy sandals and body glitter is a great way to feel hot! Note: Drawing attention to your bachelorette and her bridesmaids is one of your primary duties as her maid of honor or bridesmaid.

Of course your job as her maid of honor or bridesmaid does not end with the bachelorette party. The grand finale is to honor your friend by giving the best, most heartfelt speech that's both touching and entertaining without being too long. If your having trouble putting your feelings into words, check out our Maid of Honor Speech for some great ideas.

Bridesmaid 2011 - Spring Break with the Girls
If you are one of the lucky ones to celebrate with your bridesmaids over spring, you are in for a great time since you have the weather on your side and some great parties coming up. Make sure to plan early and get the bridesmaid dresses as well as lock up the venue since the warm weather starts the busy bridal season. Some great bridesmaid ideas are to have a party at a spa, go to an outdoor restaurant that has a separate room, a comfortable home of a friend or family member. For bridesmaid decorations, go with the spring theme of flowers for centerpieces, bright colors for table cloths and floral decorations. For bridesmaid gifts get something functional, fun and memorable. Being a bridesmaid or maid of honor, there are a lot of responsibilities and tasks to do.

Make sure to pay attention to bridesmaid expenses since this season is still a struggle for many bridesmaids. Look online for deals and type in coupon codes. For bachelorette party planning, check out our favorite site at bachelorette party fun who offers the lowest prices along with free shipping, no sales tax and offers up to three free gifts with every order.

Bridal shower games are very popular for the Spring season with our favorite being bridal Pictionary or Charades. Check out some of the more cool and easy to play bridal shower games here.

Most importantly, make sure the bride-to-be is having fun and the focus of the day and/or evening during the shower and last night out! Happy Spring and enjoy the bridesmaid season!

Bridesmaid 2011 - St Patty's Day
Start off the season of Lucky with your bridemaids in planning the most amazing bridal shower and bachelorette party ever! Make sure to plan early since the bridesmaids will need time to prepare, especially if you are planning an out of Towner. If you are lucky to be a bridesmaid, find the Leprechaun’s lucky pot of gold since we have great ways to save on the bridesmaid expenses of the season. Ask about group rates since this is still a bridesmaid’s market and look for online savings.  For the bachelorette party, we highly recommend the top party site with already low prices, no sales tax, free shipping and a free bachelorette party gift in every order. It is bachelorette party fun.

Being a bridesmaid means also to bring in some cute bridal shower games. We have a nice free selection for bridesmaids to get creative.

Place the bride-to-be’s name followed by “…has found her lucky pot of gold” with the picture of the groom to be. Make rainbow decorations along with cute bridal centerpieces. If you are the Maid of Honor, we have a great maid of honor speech section to help in your planning!

Bridesmaid Ideas  - Halloween Extravaganza
If you are one of the lucky ones to be a bridesmaid during the Fall season, get ready for some excellent fun. Start the bridesmaid checklist early in figuring out what to plan and bring for the bridal shower, bachelorette party and wedding.

Although it is not the prime season for weddings, it is still busy for venues and travel. It is also wise to get ideas for the bridesmaid dresses and then fittings in so there time is left for any alterations. If you are planning on making a maid of honor speech, don't leave this to the last minute. You can also tie in the change of fall and the exciting new changes for the bride and groom.

If you are planning a bachelorette party, have the bridesmaids get together and figure out how much they want to spend. We do recommend the lowest priced and best customer service at bachelorette party fun which offers a free gift, free shipping, no sales tax and will even throw in an extra bachelorette party gift if you tell them that bridesmaid 101 sent you! A fun idea is to also tie in Halloween and have a costume bachelorette party with the bridesmaids wearing their ugly bridesmaid dresses or all the bridesmaids dressing in sassy black and having the bride to be in red with a devil tiara.

You can tie in the fall colors for the bridal shower by using fall flowers, pumpkins and confetti. A cute idea is to dress up two pumpkins or corn husks with a bride veil and groomsman hat and bow tie. Have some fun with the holiday season. A great bridesmaid tip is to check in with the bride-to-be to see what you can help out with. In this economy, I am sure many can use the help of their bridesmaids in having a less-stress process.

Bridesmaid Ideas - Spring Forward into Fun
The Spring season is the best time to be a Bridesmaid! This is the season in which you can start enjoying the outdoor weather with the other bridesmaids as well as the maid of honor.

Tell them that bridesmaid 101 sent you for an extra free gift (place in their comments section - bridesmaid 101 extra free gift when checking out).

It is a great time to help the bride out with so many different choices and stressors she may have during the wedding planning. Having the bridesmaid support will mean a lot to her. Decorate the bridal shower in fall colors and leaves/flower arrangements. Have the bridesmaids discuss what they give thanks for focusing on the friendship of the bride-to-be which is special. Have all the bridesmaids write them down for a keepsake book, which will be a great memento to the bride-to-be! Fall is a great time to have a bachelorette party as well as very pretty fall bridesmaid dresses. Just make sure to have a great time with the entire wedding process and Happy Thanksgiving (even for those outside of the US).

Bridesmaid Halloween Season Ideas: It is already time to start planning for the cold winter and the witching hour! Halloween is a fun time for bridesmaids as there are a lot of ideas to incorporate when having a bridal shower during the month of October. Having everyone dress up in costume is always fun with the bride as the bride of Frankenstein. One idea is to have everyone wear the scariest bridesmaid dress. Have the bridal shower in orange and black (if you are not traditional) and have candy on all the tables! Another fun idea is to serve food that is symbolic of October such as Sand-Witches, deviled eggs, witches brew punch and cinnamon pumpkin shooters. Have fun with the bridesmaids and maid of honor during the bridal shower. Bring out pictures of the bride-to-be and groom on how they looked in costume as children over the years. Make the bridal shower memorable in anything you do and have a great time. Visit our Bridesmaid Seasonal Ideas page for more information here!

Bridesmaid Spring and June Ideas: It is fun to party in Spring and the beginning of summer as the bridal shower is planned!

There are so many cool bridesmaid ideas to use such as using bright colors as well as light pastel cool colors for the new Spring season. Some other ideas to tie in are to let everyone give advice to the new couple and write them down, placing them in a bridal shower memory book.
