HISTORY
 BridesmaidAid.com was created in 2000 by Ellen
Horowitz and Joanna Dreifus, former co-workers at The Museum of Television and Radio.
Together Ellen and Joanna have attended nearly 30 weddings and served as
bridesmaids repeatedly, with no end in sight. While consulting with each
other endless times about their bridesmaid duties and dilemmas--from how
to save money on gifts to how to look thinner in an unflattering
dress--Ellen and Joanna lamented that there was no one-stop information
source for today's bridesmaids. They wanted to create a website which
would:
- explain the various aspects of this oft-maligned
job
- entertain those lucky gals in the process
So, they gathered
their collective experiences and launched BridesmaidAid.com in October
2000!
Penelope the Perpetual Bridesmaid is
the guiding spirit behind BridesmaidAid.com. She is a typical twenty-first
century bridesmaid who is excited for the bride-to-be, but a little
unsure (and perhaps a little wary. . .) of what's required of her. With
Penelope the Perpetual Bridesmaid at your side, let BridesmaidAid.com
guide you through your bridesmaid duties!
