Found this While Pinning - Not sure what to make of this

So we all know how to treat our bridesmaids right? What's everyone's opinion on this gem?

Oh boy.

While I do agree with the dress thing, I dont really agree with most of these. I do not think the bride needs to provide more comfortable shoes for the BP to dance in. I dont think BMs need to be "showered with gifts" either. I hate personal wedding gifts. I agree with paying for their hair if you are requiring something specific. I dont think its necessary to introduce all BMs. Not everybody wants to be friends with people they dont know. They will meet when at events, and that is fine. & Im def not trying to hook any of them up with the GM. I think the thing about pitching into the Vegas b-party is ridic. I wouldnt want to go to Vegas for my b-party, so why would I want to pitch in for it?

All in all, this is kinda crazy.

I agree with everything Sierra said. I also love how it implies that helping the bride with DIY projects is expected.

ETA: spelling.

I just thought this was cray cray. The entire time I read this I was thinking "My sister or BFFL would NEVER say any of these things to me"

They have one or two things right, but for the most part it's like a how-to for being a high-maintenance BM.

We should re-write this or something.

The comments at the bottom are what got me. All of the things in the list are variations of what we tell brides on here. The people commenting at the bottom all sounded like selfish, entitled b*tches.

Honestly, I think this is better than most of the garbage lists out there. Not great, but at least moving in a better direction.

All I feel like responding to is #7. Because those are the most attractive groomsmen I've ever seen. Hubba hubba.

I have to say, #7 is one of the worst on there.  It isn't the bride's job to get their BMs laid.  Especially on their wedding night.  Also, the wedding party isn't some kind of breeding stable, and putting pressure on any of the men on the BMs behalf is gross gross gross.

I had one guest do this to me, and it was SO nasty.  She asked me repeatedly to point out the single guys in the room, and kept asking about the other guests she thought she could have a one-night stand with.  I didn't have more than 3 single guys at our wedding.  Every man she pointed out was married/engaged/dating.  I really got tired of her trying to make me responsible for assisting her 'need to get laid'. 

Dude, go to an effing club and throw yourself at some random guy, if that's all your agenda is.  I'm having my wedding night over here.

Some of these are hilarious. Why does a bride need to be concerned with "feeding and pampering" her bm's the day of her wedding? Not to mention all I can think of is $$$ for me to spend.
Lavishing bridesmaids with presents? I'm getting my girls some nice things with personal touches, but I'm not going to spend hundreds.
Set you up with hot groomsmen so you can get laid? Least of my concerns for real.

I think that list was made for some seriously needy, spoiled bridesmaids. I've seen other commentators agree.

Uhhhh, I mean- the heel-stopper thing was good, other than that??????
