For the Bridesmaid With a Bump

First comes love, then comes marriage ... the comes a pregnant bridesmaid? It happens more times than not because as your circle of friends get older, and everyone is on different paths, some of them will likely show up pregnant to your wedding festivities. What a wonderfully exciting way to celebrate all of the different seasons of life! Whether you're the bride or the bridesmaid, here are a few tips for making it through the wedding events and details with your cute little bump.

What to Wear?!

When you're a pregnant woman looking for a bridesmaid dress, it can be a little disconcerting, because you either end up with a matronly maternity gown or have only a few styles to pick from that aren't YOUR style. There are a few ways you can ease this, by realizing you don't have to get a maternity gown! Look for fabrics that have a lot of stretch to them, and are light and billowy. If the bride is letting you pick out your own style in an appropriate color, that makes the job so much easier.  Also, look for gowns that have a flexible waistline. Empire waist will be the easiest to work around your growing bump, but there are a few others that can probably work as well. If everyone is wearing short dresses in the wedding party, you can get a floor length one and then hem it to the appropriate length so you aren't at risk for it being TOO short.

Plan For the Day Accordingly

Depending on how far along you'll be, there aren't too many things you can't do that you would have done otherwise. You can still help prepare for the wedding by crafting and decorating, just keep off of the ladders. You can help by arranging centerpieces, folding programs, or even volunteering to get a head start on the thank you cards!

While you're planning ahead, though, make sure that you will have plenty of water and snacks on hand so you aren't caught hungry in the midst of a busy weekend. You also want to schedule plenty of time to relax and put your feet up. Even if you have to step out from wedding decorating for a few minutes and take a small nap. Your heath is just as important as the wedding, and no one wants you going into labor during the vows!

Support Each Other 

This is such a big weekend for both of you, and it will be a great time to make memories! While it will be a busy weekend, take the time to enjoy every moment that you have and support each other along the way. Don't forget, the best thing about a pregnant bridesmaid is that you will ALWAYS have someone to cry with!
