What Is A Personal Attendant For A Wedding? And Who Should You Ask To Be One?

Have you been excitedly thinking about who you will ask to be in your wedding party? You may have also heard about brides having a personal attendant (also called a bridal assistant). What does a personal attendant do at your wedding? Is a personal attendant a bridesmaid? Who should you ask to be your personal attendant? We’re explaining it all so you can decide!

A personal attendant is someone you designate to help you throughout your wedding day from getting ready through your grand exit! They are NOT a replacement for a wedding coordinator.

Here are some typical tasks a personal attendant will be responsible for: bringing breakfast/lunch to the wedding party, helping hold your dress up in the restroom, carrying your purse and bouquet, bringing a mini emergency kit for fashion fixes, helping gather the wedding party and family members for photos, cleaning the bridal suite at the end of the night and ensuring your overnight bag goes home with you!

Whether or not you have a personal attendant for your wedding day is entirely up to you, but it can help you have a more stress-free wedding day! Just remember, a personal attendant is not going to manage your decor, greet or direct vendors, or oversee the timeline. That is a wedding planner's job!
