I didnt even ask my MOH lol. I told her i got engaged and that we were going to city hall with 2 witnesses, to which she replied "let me know the date and what you want me to wear!" We've always been on the same page with each other. As for our Best Man I suggested to my FH that he choses his brother (altho he was going to ask him anyway) because they are inseperable! They are brothers as well as best friends and my FBIL and I are also really close friends. I keep refering to him as "our" best man because hes mine also!

Our wedding party was decided who was close to us and being local. No gifts given in the beginning, only the day of the wedding.

We asked straight up to 4 of our friends.

I basically had my bridal party picked out from the get-go:

- My MOH and my one BM were my best friends (and roommates) in university
- Another BM is my best friend since 2002 (so known each other 17 years) and I was in her bridal party in June
- My 4th BM is my FH's sister

Since I had the bridal party figured out early on, I asked everyone from the span of November 2017 - May 2018. The reason there's such a big gap is because I wanted to ask them in person, and they live all over the place but they were all asked before a year before the wedding.

I didn't do any proposal boxes/gifts, so I would maybe do that if I had the opportunity to redo it. I am going all out on thank you gifts to "make-up" for the lack of proposal boxes lol.

Love the wine labels, those are so cute. If I could change one thing it would be to have included my little sister a little more in the planning. She was the first person I told about the engagement and she's a part of the wedding, but I did most of the planning without her input and I think it would have been really fun to have done it together.

I asked my sister to be my MOH, and my FH's 2 sisters, and sister in law to be my Bridesmaids.

I did the same thing with my ladies. Just a nice bottle of wine and had labels customized for it! They loved them. I also did all the proposals together, so we opened one of the bottles and all had a glass of wine!

I picked my MOH to be my sister because duh - family is forever but friends come and go.

I picked the BM's:

1. Best Friend since grade 8/9 (8 years now).

2. Best Friend at work and person I met my FH through.

3. My FH's friend and now mine (his friend is one of his best men).

4. My FH's cousin who he is a week or two apart age wise who he grew up with and I hang out with all the time.

I had asked them if they would be interested in being in my wedding party early on and then gave them all official proposal boxes about a year before the wedding.

Wouldn't change anything Just a question after all - didn't have to get them anything, but I like going above and beyond!

I only asked my sister because I found it was too complicated to ask friends and whatnot. Reflecting back on it, I totally would have included at least one more friend in it since I'm feeling a little regretful of everything (and I would totally have done a bridesmaid proposal!).
