So I know that picking bridesmaids is lower on the wedding to-do list, but I’ve been thinking about creative ways to ask my friends to be in our bridal party. I’m really struggling to decide who to ask though. I’ve narrowed my list down to 7 ladies, but preferably I would like to narrow it down further (to 4 or 5).
Do you lovely ladies have any tips and tricks you’ve picked up along the way.
Friend 1: I’ve known her since I was 8, however, we only got really close in the last 7-8 years. We work together, spend a large amount of our personal time together, and I know that I can go to her with anything. She’s asserted that she will be my wedding b***h, and has already started planning my wedding. She is truly so supportive and I plan on asking her to be my maid of honour.
Friend 2: We’ve been friends since we were babies, and although we go long periods of time without talking, it’s like nothing has changed. She lives 5 hours away and is in nursing school, so I’m not sure if she will be able to help as much as I would like.
Friend 3, 4 and 5: Although I only became really close with them a few years ago, these are the girls I rely on, share good news with, etc. They have all been very verbally supportive of my relationship, and gush over how sweet my FH is. I feel like I need these ladies in my corner.
Friend 6 and 7: I lived with these girls for 3 years in university, and we were inseparable. They’ve both moved back to the GTA though, so we don’t connect as often. I love them both, and they’re both very supportive, but I’m not sure they would be able to help out as much. My other issue is that they’re friends with the group above, and I don’t want them to feel left out.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
