As your big day draws near, your wedding planning checklist doesn’t seem to get shorter. You and your partner are probably overloaded, having to coordinate between families and wedding vendors, all while trying your best to set aside time for each other. At this juncture, don’t forget that there’s no shame in you asking for third-party help!
In fact, you’ve already reached out to a bunch of girl-friends or ‘gal pals’ for help: your bridesmaids. Not only is this bunch trustworthy and supportive, but they would most definitely be ready to take on your bridesmaid duties — so include them in your celebration from the wedding planning stage! Here are four reasons why these girls are perfect for you to entrust some of your bridal duties with.
1. Your Best Third-Party Wedding Adviser

As you and your partner have been so caught up in the entire wedding
planning process, sometimes it’s helpful to receive assistance or advice from a
reliable third party. Perhaps you and your partner can’t decide on the floral arrangements or other wedding reception decorations. It’s time to seek someone who can offer a ‘third eye’ in the
decision-making.
And who better to count on than your closest
girl-friends! You’ve picked these girls as your bridesmaids for a reason. These
are the girls you know can always count on for honest feedback – seek their
help for a more objective perspective! And of course, these close friends only
want the best for you. You can rest assured that they have your best interests
at heart as they share with you their opinions.
2. Your Always-Supportive ‘Gal Pals’

Realistically speaking, planning the biggest day of your life can get
overwhelming. At times, you’d need a listening ear – someone to share your
frustration with, and without harbouring any judgement at that. Because this
group of friends has been with you through thick and thin, they would know just
what you need in moments of distress.
So let your girl pals know that you would like some
time out with them! Unwind and relax with a well-deserved ‘girl time’. Maybe a girls’ night out for you to share your
anxieties and in return, receiving affirmation from your gals. Confide in your
beloved bridesmaids and let them cheer you on, restoring you with renewed
energy for the remainder of this hectic but rewarding wedding journey.
3. Your Dependable Helping Hands

When you’re organising such a huge event, you’ll need helping hands to
ensure you don’t miss out on any details. Let your girls know early on what you
need their help with! Whether it is collecting the pastries for the Guo Da Li
Ceremony or selecting the tea for the Chinese Wedding Tea Ceremony, your
bridesmaids will ensure you stay on top of the typical Singapore wedding planning checklist.
On top of fulfilling Chinese wedding traditions, there are also the necessary coordination liaisons between your
wedding vendors (caterer, venue owners etc.) and wedding guests. Request for
help from your girls and keep them in the necessary loop. Future you will thank
yourself for that, especially on your wedding day when more likely than not,
you’ll be all over the place ridden with excitement, anticipation and anxiety.
But in the process of delegating tasks to your
trustworthy bridesmaids, don’t forget to check in with them if the errands are
doable! As much as they are here to boost your morale and offload some of your
duties, you’d want to be respectful of their kindness and good will of helping
you as well.
