I think if you just told her what you told us that would be a great start! :-D
If you're good with layouts, maybe she would like help with the programs or the menus? If you have similar taste in music, maybe you could recommend a song list for the prelude and cocktail hour? I'm sure she would love to know that you are willing to help, and I bet she will find some project that you can help with. She's lucky to have you!
Yeah layouts are a good idea because I dont think she's super computer saavy. Thanks ready2bmrsd and caitlanc!
Well lots of people from out of state are in weddings (missing showers and parties before hand). Are you saying that you don't want to be in the wedding? Or still being a BM but making up for missing some BM duties by making up for it at the wedding? I think it's sweet to offer up extra work to make her life easier at the wedding.
Is there a list of guests she could forward to call, to those who haven't rsvp'd?
Sometimes having a girl who is far away from it all to vent to is the best BM duty ever. I have a BM in Connecticut and listening to me rant about FMIL and Absentee FFIL is way better than coming to my shower. Let her know you are there to listen to illogical wedding rants. It's needed!

So I'm in a sticky situation and would love some advice. Around this time last year I accepted the invitation to be a bridesmaid in a friends wedding this May. We were not very close at the time, but her fiance and my (then boyfriend) fiance are best friends from high school. They were planning their wedding to be local to us (not where she grew up or went to college) meaning she didnt have very many friends locally yet. I accepted the invitation as she is a really sweet girl and I figured as we spent more time together we would get closer and become better friends.
All was going in that direction until I found out I will be living on the west coast for work for the three months leading up to their wedding. I even had to push up the time that I am out of town so that I would be back for their wedding!! So, unfortunately, I won't be around for her shower, or able to attend her bachelorette party, or help her with any big DIY projects. I'm really looking for any suggestions that I can help her from afar. I was thinking of offering to be somewhat of a DOC -- I am a super organized person and already created a timeline & checklist for the day of for my own wedding (that isn't until next year!!) that could easily be adjusted for her wedding. I also don't know any of the other bridesmaids or her family very well so it would be something to keep me busy on the wedding day while we're all getting ready.
What other ideas do you have that I could help her with from afar? I'm not the craftiest of people but like I said I'm very organized and actually enjoy planning things like this. Thanks in advance!!!
