Perhaps the most important persons at the wedding celebration after the bride and groom are the witnesses who are next to the newlyweds throughout the holiday. Especially troublesome, but also very honorable and enjoyable is the role of a witness at a wedding.
The witness has many obligations, so it would be nice to shift some of them to other friends of the bride or her relatives. The witness at the wedding should begin to carry out her tasks long before the celebration. For example, her duty is to help in selecting an outfit for the bride, as well as in preparing wedding events. Of course, no one requires a bridesmaid to take all the organizational matters onto herself. Her task is to morally support her friend, who is probably very worried about her own wedding.
Also, the witness at the wedding is responsible for organizing such a pre-wedding event as a bachelorette party. It is necessary to try to make the event easy and fun, as a successful bachelorette party will help the bride to take a break from the pre-wedding efforts and get rid of unnecessary excitement.
On the shoulders of the witness lies the preparation of such an exciting wedding moment as ransom. Here you will have to try to make the tests for the groom fun and provocatively. A witness at a wedding should select contests and assignments in such a way that the entire ransom takes no more than thirty minutes. A prolonged ransom annoys and tires the groom and brings boredom to the guests.
On the pre-wedding day, the witness needs to carefully prepare her handbag so that everything is there so that any trouble can be corrected. The standard set includes: thread (white) with a needle, several pins, hairpins, invisibility, comb, mirror, wipes (wet and dry), powder and lipstick or lip gloss. Such a peculiar set of "first aid" will help to quickly bring the bride's outfit or make-up in order in case of complex unforeseen situations.
On the day of the celebration, a witness at the wedding comes to the bride first to help her friend with an outfit and hairstyle. When the groom arrives, the witness conducts a ransom, attracting other bridesmaids to help.
Before going to the registry office, the witness must check whether the passports of the newlyweds, wedding rings, champagne, glasses and other little things have been forgotten in a hurry. And after the end of the registration procedure, when all the guests will begin to congratulate the young spouses, the witnesses should be ready to help the bride in time to "get rid" of the bouquets that will be handed to her congratulating.
When the newlyweds leave the hall, it is customary to shower them with rose petals, sweets and coins. Witnesses should also prepare this event by giving props to the guests in advance and “building” them so that a corridor is formed. At the same time, it is important to explain to the guests that you need to throw flower petals up, and coins and sweets - under the feet of a young one.
The witness does not have to relax during the banquet. She should make sure that all guests are accommodated at the tables, as well as help the bride accept gifts by organizing a place where wedding gifts could be temporarily folded.
Of course, it will be necessary to prepare congratulations for the wedding from the witness, which should be sincere, warm and original. Mandatory is the participation of witnesses in various competitions and games, which is organized by the host. The duties of witnesses end only at the end of all wedding celebrations.
In the pre-wedding rush, the witness needs to find time to prepare a worthy outfit for herself. The dress (or suit) should be moderately elegant, but in no case seek to compete with the bride's toilet.
