- Buy your dress and shoes early, as soon as the bride picks them out. One of my BMs procrastinated, and by the time she ordered, the shoes I picked out were sold out in her size, and she had to get something else. (I was cool with it, but not all brides would be.)
- Break in your shoes before the wedding! You may also want to bring ballet slippers or other comfy shoes to slip into at the reception.
- You may want to help plan a shower and/or bachelorette party. Often this is coordinated by the maid of honor - but if the MOH is the bride's sister or another relative, it will fall to the other BMs (it's an etiquette faux pas to host a shower for a relative).
- Make sure the bride eats something on the morning of the wedding!
- Be warned that, depending on the seating arrangements, you may not be able to sit with your date at the reception (if you are invited to bring one).
- Don't drink too much!
