Don't wear ivory. Even if the bride says she's ok with it, it's so easy to just wear a different color and avoid the issue altogether.
There probably isn't anything you have to prepare. The maid-of-honor, best man, parents, and siblings may give speeches at the wedding or the rehearsal dinner, but it's not super common for the rest of the bridal party to do it. Most likely, you should just show up and enjoy yourself :)
We are having an open mic at our RD. We don't want 150 toasts at the wedding so we are allowing anyone to say anything (I think I might get embarrassed) at the RD. Don't have a written speach but think of something nice or funny to say, that will be more personal at the RD than at the wedding. Also, expect your bride to be a little on edge, take care of her if things are running late. Offer to check on what ever she needs. I think for some brides the Rehearsal is where it hits them hard and they are either on Cloud 9 LaaLaa land or a frantic mess. And above all make sure she knows you are having fun, even if you are running around - do it with a smile and make it seem easy.
@Heartly: additionally I don't think you need to prepare much for the rehersal. In theroy, you should be ready to simply practice what you will be doing day of.
I think asking if there's anything that anyone will need help with, and following direction would be all that's required.
Also there are a few things I've noticed about ceremonies: 1) bride and bridesmaid should carry the bouquets low and cerented titled forward for better pictures. flowers are often held higher like almost chest level and are not angled for better pics, walk slowly down the aisle and pasue if possible as the photographer will likely be trying to take your picture while moving. I think we all just forget about these things, I know I would if no one explicitly told me so.
@vmec: Thanks! I'll let the bride/BMs know, I have a feeling this kind of thing will be looked over.

I am attending my first ever rehearsal dinner as a bridesmaid in April, and I'm really curious what to expect. I know they're all different, but tips would help. The wedding is in a small town in the Dominican Republic, the bridal party and family/parents will be there (though not BP dates). It's at a beautiful restaurant on the water.
As a bridesmaid, is there anything I should be prepared with to help and or say? Are speeches given by the bridal party? Any help would be fantastic!
The bride (and all 7 BMs) are my oldest, best friends if that helps. The bride, love her dearly, isn't super communicative about this stuff/really doesn't know herself, so I'm turning to the experts!
