Personal Attendants

So, I was thinking of asking someone to be my personal attendant, but I wasn't even sure what a personal attendant was! So, this is what I found:


Personal Attendants

This special position is somewhat of a mystery. Many people use this position as an honorary title, but it also has many duties. The personal attendant should be a person with wonderful organizational abilities, as well as, the ability to keep to a specific schedule.

They will also be in charge of ensuring the activities run smoothly the morning of the wedding.

Pre-Wedding

• Attend all activities invited to
• Help address invitations
• Learn to bustle the brides train
• Help plan and/or decorate pre-wedding activities (if asked to)
• Prepare an emergency bag for the bride (lipstick, perfume, deodorant, pins, scissors, needles, thread (white, the color of bridesmaids dresses, black for the tuxedos), hair spray, bobby pins, brush, snaps, hooks and eyes, pantyhose and nail polish (clear and colored)

Wedding Day

• Keep the bride on schedule (if you will be with her that day)
• Pin flowers on the guests, parents and party attendants
• Transport the flowers from the church to the reception site
• Transport any items for the attendants from the church to the reception site
• Help decorate the reception hall
• Keep track of the pictures taken by the photographer
• Fix any last minute emergencies
• Assist the ushers with greeting guests as they enter the ceremony site
• Help clean up the reception hall (if service is not provided by the hall)
• Help deliver the gifts

Post Wedding

• Attend the post wedding brunch
• Offer to transport guests to the airport

Sounds like the perfect job for my friend!! I really want him to be a part of my wedding, but wasn't allowed to have a male bridesmaid. This seems like a perfect way to include him.
