Have you already chosen your wedding party?

I always knew I wanted my sister and his sister to be my bridesmaids I asked my sister in person and my sister in law on Skype (since she lives in Ireland). I was glad to be surrounded by family on the day.

Always known!! my girls have been around for years and i cant wait for them to stand beside me!

We aren't having a wedding party!
We still need to chose our witnesses, and I feel like that is as important as the wedding party.

Had an idea of a couple of them - but others were met along the way so I would have never met them if it weren't for me dating and then marrying my Husband.

I knew my Sister would be MOH, and knew my friend N.L. would be a BM. But T.R. was a friend I met through work and who introduced me to my DH, and my other two BM were my DH's cousin C.K. and my DH's friend (who is dating his other friend - big friend group intertwined) B.H.! Making 5 on my side!

We were engaged for about a year and a half before any planning started, including picking/asking the bridal party. I always knew I wanted my sister as my MOH. My bridesmaid is a friend from university who I recently reconnected with, but she's one of the most honest people I know and so not judgmental. My bridesman (Yay for non-traditional bridal party!) is a friend I made from my last place of work. He's supportive and as obsessed with pokemon and board games as my FH and I are.

There's an unofficial fourth person, a friend from high school. She has always been a super amazing friend and we mesh with our brand of "excitable weird". She's MC, but she'll be coming to all the pre-wedding stuff, so, to me, she counts.

For FH it was easy. He picked his three best friends and he's know he'd choose them forever.

For me, I knew before we were engaged that I wanted my best friend as my MOH. We met in grade 7 and she's stuck around with me through thick and thin. I also knew I wanted my cousin as a bridesmaid. I grew up just always wanting to be like her and we were the only two girls in a sea of male cousins. This left us with uneven sides and I went back and forth about adding a third girl and who to add and I finally decided that having an uneven bridal party was no big deal and I stuck with my heart and stayed with just my two girls.

We decided to forgo a wedding party all together for a few reasons, but FH and I still have certain people that we go to for advice on certain things. Since we're not doing the wedding party thing, this gave our closest friends a choice to be as involved in our day as they wished and most have come to us asking to do one thing or another. We're having 2 of our friends emcee the reception which we were more than happy for since they personally came to us and asked if they could, 2 will be witnesses, 1 will make sure the music is queued up, a couple will be ushers, etc. this way not too much is on the shoulders of a select few and each person gets to do what they're good at/enjoy doing.

I had a good idea who'd stand by my side before we got engaged, but made a more concrete decision after the fact when DH started thinking about his side. I ended up choosing 3 of my bestest friends, and my SIL (husband's sister). Husband had 2 of his longest friends and my brother on his side, so we were uneven, but it worked out for photos! Our niece (SIL's daughter) was our flower girl

We had no plans to have a wedding party in the beginning. It was his boss asking and he was considering the thought as was I. It was decided to keep it simple and small of 4 people being 2 MOHs and 2 BM (Best Man). The choice seemed easy as to who was close to us friends that were in town and close to us knowing very well. My husbands side was chosen easily and I had to make change another person for MOH, coming to know my original choice was moving the east coast months before our wedding. The second choice for me was one of his staff that I came to know well in the time frame and for what she felt was going bad against 2 girls.

Since we were keeping our wedding to family only, we also wanted to make our wedding party family to make it easier. This way no one was left out.
My sister was my MOH and my 3 sister in laws were my bridesmaids. My Husband had his brother as his best man, my brother and his 2 brother in laws for groomsmen

My FH and I have a very close knit group of friends who are all standing with us at our wedding. The hard part was figuring out who would be on who's side lol. We're lgbt, so we didn't go with the traditional bridesmaids and groomsmen

We have both also included people outside of this immediate group of friends who have been there for us for years.

I have 4 people in my bridal party, and he has 6.

We both asked everybody in person, and I also bought bridal party proposal gifts for a few of them (my four and two of his more femme groomsmaids)

Yess, we have! We knew we only wanted my sister and my FH's brother as our wedding party. We officially asked them about 2 months after being engaged. My sister has her dress ready to go for July and my FBIL still is looking for a suit with my FH.

I met my MOH when I was 12 (a little over 10....ok 30 years ago). I couldn't do it without her. She has part of every big moment in my life so far. Because this is my second wedding and I'm an older bride I have decided to go with just one person on each side. I don't need or want anything that the bridal party usually does (shower or stag and doe or bachelorette party) so really all that is needed is for her to stand with me and sign the paperwork. I have left her dress up to her with regard to style and what she feels good in. I had thought of maybe having two BM but I'm close to one sister and not the other so I decided that it was easier for me to just have one person on my side.
