Being a Bridesmaid: Not All Fun & Games
With wedding season in full splendor, we’re sure many of you ladies are, er, “serving” as bridesmaids, and serving seems as accurate as ever when Dumb as a Blog breaks down the duties of a bridesmaid and why they’re, well, dumb! This piece is particularly appro today…with Bridesmaids (Maya Rudolph, Kristen Wiig and Ellie Kemper, plus a spot by the handsome Jon Hamm), a comedy about the aforementioned servitude, hitting theaters.
Now, I fall a little below the wedding circuit age-wise, so perhaps my optimism and excitement is premature, but I can’t wait to attend a slew of weddings and hopefully ones where I’ll be in the bridal party.
Do I acknowledge it’s going to be a lot of work (and money)? Absolutely, but I also think it will be totally fun and exciting. I’d only hope that the girls I choose to be my bridesmaids are as psyched as I am at the prospect!
One hilarious point from the post? “There will be a penis helmet on your head at some point leading up to the wedding while you sit and watch the bride drunkenly stagger through a crowded room in a “Suck For A Buck” t-shirt you were forced to design.” On second thought, I could do without the penis helmet….

Post a CommentI’ve never been a bridesmaid, but love to be one, but only for someone I’m really close too
I’ll be a bridesmaid for the first time next year in july and im actually really excited about it…seems like im the only one from my bunch though…party poopers!
I’ve been a bridesmaid twice and I love it. If someone is choosing you as a bridesmaid it means that you are that important to her to have you stand at the alter with her on one of the biggest days of her life. How could you not be proud to share that with someone?!
I’m a first time maid of honor right now, and I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing! I’m easily stressing out over not having any clue what I’m supposed to be doing!
I can not wait to see the movie!
I’ve been a bridemaid 6 times. I’m sick of it! I love my friends but I’m done. The next wedding i’m in better be my own
Always the bridesmaid never the bride is the quote that comes to mind. I have had my share of those days. At this point I hope the next time I’m looking for a dress its a wedding dress.
I’ve heard bridesmaid the movie got good reviews so I’m looking forward to seeing that. The helmet thing and buck comment again TMI.
If you get to wear a nice dress you are lucky!
Never been one, and hopefully I won’t have to.
those dresses are to die for
