Technically all you have to do is buy your dress and show up to support your friend on her big day. However, the bride may assume otherwise (they usually do).
She may need your assistance in assembling invitations, dress shopping, picking out/assembling favors, etc. There's a lot of tedious stuff that comes with wedding planning that is always more fun if there's a friend to help out.
She may also want you to help plan her shower and/or bachelorette with the other bridesmaids (the Maid of Honor in particular). You may also need to pay to get your hair done (she may also pay for this as part of your gift).
There may be things that need to get done after the reception, too. Someone has to bring home the envelope box, cake topper, extra favors, etc. I'm sure she could use a hand with that.
It all depends on the bride, as to what she expects. But like I said the most important thing is standing by her side on her big day.

You are responsible for buying your dress and accessories, getting your hair done, and finding transportation to the wedding. The bride might be a doll and pick up some of that for you, but don't count on it. You'll also be responsible for helping to plan the shower and to help pay for the bachelorette party.
Other than that, offer to help her with things if you can, like making favors. And remember that you will NOT wear the bridesmaid dress again, no matter what it looks like.

Basically you are there to help the bride with her gown on the big day and depending on how close you are, help with some preparations and planning. There are guidelines at www.wikepedia.com and www.theknot.com that talk about what your responsibilities are but before you agree, you should ask the bride what it is she expects of you. While it's supposed to be an honor to have been asked, you should never enter into an agreement without first knowing what's expected and only she can really tell you that. Good luck.

No you are not. The only thing that you can help in is helping the maid of honor plan the bachelorette party. If the bride needs anything else and the maid of honor is swamped then help her. But be careful you dont step on the maid of honors toes.

Yes. You are suposed to help her plan everything she might need help with, like the bachelorette party or wedding shower if she's having one, & the list of guests who are going. Basically anything she might need assistance with.
