Producer Amanda here! I found this list of problems that bridesmaids will understand from the Huffington Post. I've gotta say...I can relate to a few of these!

  1. The loss of all your disposable income. This one is DEFINITELY one I could relate to. The bride of the wedding I'm in has tried very hard to keep costs down. However, I find myself paying with plastic more often than not.
  2. Passive-aggressive emails from other bridesmaids. Well, this one is probably more me sending them than getting them...whoops....
  3. "Wear whatever you want!" I have actually appreciated this from the bride. Yes, I do have to go out and pick my own dress...but I will definitely wear it again. I also didn't have to make trips to bridal salon and fight with other bridesmaids about style.
  4. Having to wear a dress that makes you look...like not your best self. Well, again I didn't have to worry about this one.
  5. "This DIY stuff is starting to mess with me mentally". I'm kind of waiting in the corner to be asked to help out. I have offered up my sweet skills though.
  6. Having to talk to the mother of the bride about all that...ahem...paraphernalia that will be at the bachelorette party.  Luckily, we're going on a pedal pub crawl! No junk in the face or strippers on a pole!
  7. Giving a toast. OMG....I kind of forgot about that till right now! Now I'm starting to get freaked out.
  8. Taking care of the drunk bridesmaids. Hasn't happened yet...but, I'll report back.
  9. Some creepy family member giving you that "sexy" look all night. Yikes, I hope that doesn't happen.
  10. Not being able to sit with your date at the reception. Mike? Mike? Where are you????
