What do bridesmaids do??

I was chatting with one of my bridesmaids who lives in DC the other night, and she asked me if there was anything I needed her to be doing or what she should be doing now (about 5.5 months before the wedding).

I haven't asked anyone for help with anything, really - and haven't event really thought about it at all - what have you gals asked your bm's to do?
