So we love to have our close friends, siblings and relatives as part of our bridal party, but do we really know what each one is supposed to do for your wedding? You can allocate tasks and responsibilities according to the number of people you have in your bridal party. Here's a brief overview of what each person in your bridal party is supposed to help you with:

The Chief Bridesmaid or Maid of Honour

... should be someone who is organised and efficient and able to muli-task. She will be involved in the wedding planning before the big day so she should be someone who is close to you and is totally invested in helping you plan and prep for your wedding

The Best Man

... should be someone like the Chief Bridesmaid. He will organise the stag party and handle all the needs of the groom during the wedding. 

The Bridesmaid

... should be someone who is responsible, and sociable as well. She is chosen because you recognise her as a good friend, relative or someone close to you; she will also help you prep for wedding. She should be someone who can get along with the other bridesmaids in your wedding party.
