2:30 p.m.
Lunchtime -- it could be a simple but nourishing room service event or a full-on bridesmaids' tea. It's up to the bride to plan it -- if she drops the ball and needs you to order pizza or sandwiches, take orders and put the luncheon together with a smile.
The bride may take this time to distribute your hard-earned bridesmaid gifts. You, in turn, will present the bride with your group gift and any old, new, borrowed, blue items that fell under your umbrella.
3:15 p.m.
The next two hours belong to the bride (she'll be getting manicured, made-up, and veiled). Meanwhile, readers/performers can practice and the maid of honor can rehearse her toast. Help each other get dressed.
Two of you should attend to the wedding gown so that it will be perfect when the bride is ready to get dressed. One of you takes care of any additional steaming and pressing; the other inspects for loose threads and wrinkling areas.
4:00 p.m.
Receive and inspect bouquets, then distribute. Greet the photographer's assistant when she arrives at the bridal suite to set up for prewedding photos.
