5 Ways to Have Fun While Getting Ready with the Bridal Party

As the big day arrives, the morning of the wedding might be too stressful or too jittery for the bride. However, thanks to her bride tribe, namely the maid of honour and the bridesmaids, she doesn’t have to spend her morning prep alone. Why not turn it into a fun and enjoyable getting ready party with the rest of the bride squad? 

Here are 5 definite ways from Giftware Direct on how the bride and the bridesmaids get to have a great time while getting ready for the big day. 

Plan ahead and schedule it out.

To make sure everyone gets to have fun minus the worry of running late, schedule a huge block of time just for the mini-get together between the bride and the bridal party. It could be an early morning brekkie date or an early brunch right as the hair and makeup get done, block it off in the day’s itinerary and inform the ladies about it as well. Give a heads up to the wedding organiser and for the documentation crew, too, so they can all schedule their tasks smoothly around your plans.

Wear matching comfy outfits for the preps.

Solidify the bride squad’s bond through gifting the ladies with adorable matching bridesmaids’ robes or pyjamas. More than just for the cute photos, these actually help the ladies in keeping their dresses neat and clean while they enjoy the morning bridal session. Also, robes and button-down PJs make it easier for the gals to change into their dresses without damaging their hairstyle or their make up.

Serve plenty of food with a little booze.

Offer filling meals for early breakfast since the ladies will be on their feel for the rest of the big day. Salads, nuts, sandwiches, chips, and pastries are great to have on board as well since anyone can simply help themselves at any point they feel hungry during the morning preps. Break out the champagne and mimosas for brunch to help ease the jitters and the tension but be careful not to go overboard with all the drinking. Turn the fun up a notch with popsicle cocktails or have a sushi platter delivered to get the party started!

Put on some awesome tunes.

Turn on the music and sing along to Arianna, Taylor, Rihanna, and the Queen B. Add in a couple of great classic pop bops or throw in some funny songs which will remind them of the great time you all had during the bachelorette weekend. Set the vibe instantly with a little help of a curated playlist so make sure you get to prepare one for the ladies.

Don’t forget to show your appreciation.

Make sure to stock on those tissues and wipes as the bridal party might just need it. Right before you get your mascara on or while you still aren’t in your white wedding dress, surprise the ladies with the bridesmaid gifts you have picked for them. Let them know how thankful you are for their time and help throughout the wedding planning and how excited you are to finally get married with them by your side.
