Bridesmaids.
With few specified duties, the bridesmaids are typically sisters or close relatives of either the bride or groom, or close friends of the bride. It is acceptable at a modern wedding for the bridesmaids to be either single or married.
Bridesmaids take part in the processional, and recessional, and may stand in the receiving line. At the reception, they mingle with the guests and are seated at the bridal table. Bridesmaids may organize showers (either together or separately) and will either give a luncheon for the bride or attend one given by her.
