A Bit About the Movie
Annie (Kristen Wiig) and Lillian (Maya Rudolph) are best friends
forever and Annie is to be the Maid of Honor at Maya's wedding.
Annie is going through a really bad time in her life - she has been
dumped by her boyfriend, her bakery has had to close down and she
has to take up a job at a jewelry store, she is going broke as she
manages to lose her job too, she shares accommodation with a weird
brother-sister duo who kick her out eventually and she has to put up
at her mother's, she drives a car that is a wreck and to add to her
woes, her best friend has another friend Helen (Rose Byrne)- a
picture perfect, rich girl who is extremely possessive about her own
relationship with the bride.
How Annie goes crazy because of her troubles and her constant
conflicts with Helen and drives the entire pre-wedding planning
upside down is what the movie's all about. Annie creates a scene in
the flight to Las Vegas where the girls are going for their
Bachelorette party that results in a total cancellation of the party
and Maya's deciding to choose Helen as the Maid of Honor instead.
Helen deftly 'steals' all of Annie's inside knowledge about what
Maya really likes and dislikes and her ideas for the Bridal shower
and plans an opulent, exaggerated version of them herself. This
outrages Annie further and she completely loses it at the shower
destroying everything around her like a mad woman. That is the last
straw for Maya and she kicks Annie out of her wedding for good.
All the while that this is happening, Annie befriends an Officer
(Chris O'Dowd) and manages to upset him too. The other bridesmaids,
notably Megan (Melissa McCarthy) who is the groom's sister add to
the hilarious riot with their own histrionics turning the movie into
something of a female version of 'The Hangover'. Unlike 'The
Hangover', Bridesmaids does have a tiny little romance angle (Wiig-O'Dowd)
but is, otherwise, a pure comedy girls would love to watch together.
Inspiring Wedding Ideas from 'Bridesmaids'
Engagement Party Speeches
Annie and Helen make the Engagement party memorable for Lillian with
their speeches. Whether you want a simple and heartfelt line like
Annie's or a more in-depth and moving speech filled with foreign
language phrases like Helen's is totally upto you. A 'Bridesmaids
War' here would only bring life to your party!
A Dress Fitting Date
Plan a dress rehearsal day out with your bridesmaids. It's a girls
shopping day out so get fashionable, dress chic and accessorize!
Start with a light lunch at a favorite restaurant where the
bridesmaids can get to know each other better before the dress
fitting.
Tip 1: Try to avoid too much food to avoid bloating up and an
uncomfortable dress fitting.
Tip 2: Avoid eating suspicious looking food to avoid getting sick at
the fitting. Watch the movie for the resulting after effects!
Vegas is the Ultimate Bachelorette Destination
A relaxed day at the lake house is fine, but , budget permitting,
getting out is definitely the way to go. A weekend away is the best
way to relax and gave fun with your girlfriends. Choosing a
destinations like Las Vegas also gives other members of the bridal
party who are married and with kids (Wendy McLendon-Covey in the
movie), to get some grown up girl bonding time.
