The Knot Bridesmaid Handbook

Help the Bride Shine Without Losing Your Mind



For the thousands of women (and even a few men) who have been given the distinct honor (and challenge!) of being a bridesmaid; for the brides who might wish to give them an advice-filled gift.

"Will you be my bridesmaid?"

Now that you've said "Yes!", a whole world of joys--and jobs--awaits. The Knot, the #1 source for wedding information, has created this book to help you become a brilliant bridesmaid—which also means a brilliant therapist, communications coordinator, stylist, and bodyguard to the bride.

You'll get the real deal on:

The duties: What you need to do in the months leading up to the big celebration, and on the big day

The parties: How to throw a fab bachelorette and a shower the bride will always remember

The dress: How to magically ensure you'll love it as much as the bride does

The other gals: How to deal with the best and worst from your fellow maids

Sprinkled throughout are tons of bonus pointers on how not to break the bank and the lowdown from real-life bridesmaids before you, and their hilarious or horrifying anecdotes of brazen brides and bridesmaids behaving badly.

The book that every bride secretly wishes her bridesmaids would read, The Knot Bridesmaid Handbook is the indispensable companion for anyone who wants to be the perfect attendant—and have fun doing it!
