No wedding party

Weddin party elimination cuts off all worries and main family is with you. Stand by your decision.

I think things have changed over the years and people are more accepting of personal preferences in wedding styles. It's perfectly fine not to have a wedding party. The most important people will be standing with you and if this is what you want, do it. It will be a lovely day to remember. Wedding parties often cause conflict so you can do without that.

We're on a very tight budget, so the first couple of things we decided on were: 1. to have a very intimate ceremony (immediate family, 1-2 friends); 2. throwing out the idea of having a wedding party. I'll be asking my best friend to be my witness, since I don't have any siblings.

I can see older generations being a bit shocked about this, but who cares. It's our day, we want it to be special for us.

Marriage traditions are now thrown out the window...you can do whatever you want now so don't have a wedding party if you don't want it!

Hi I'm doing the same well sort of- just my fiancé and I standing up there and my mom and his dad will sign as witnesses. I feel a little less stressed about having to coordinate a bunch of people :-)

That sounds lovely! We have 2 each in our party because my FH wanted both his brothers to stand up with him. my best friend and my sister in law are my bridesmaids and I am having my brother act as my witness.

I love this idea. I wish we would have done this with just myself, fiancé and my daughter but he wanted to have a party. We've had some major issues with having a wedding party and really wish we opted out of it.

For us it will just be a Matron of Honour and Best Man. These are also our witnesses. I have 4 adult children who will be walking me down the aisle and then taking their seats with the other guests. No fuss. I think that these days you can choose to do whatever makes you happy and you're not confined to the old traditions. Then again, marriage is an old tradition, in and of itself.

My bride's maids were my 3 kids (6,8 and 9 years old). Two girls and my son and his groom's men were his two sons (6 and 9)

Hi! I am doing the same thing - no wedding party just us and my two kids.

I think it's completely ok. It's your wedding, you can do what you want. I was only going to have 1 attendant but my mother reminded me that it's a lot to put on one person (shower, stagette, etc.) so I'm having 2. I have no idea what he's doing. LOL

Hi Shelby! Nice to meet you here!

I also think you should do whatever feels right to you. If that is including the boys, I would go for it.

How is the planning going? You already found your dream dress?

I made this week a game about the wedding planning. I think you will like it.

Your gift is on its way!

Let me know xx

I think it should be whatever is most meaningful to you! We are only having 2 people each in our wedding party. My two are my best friends that I've had for almost 15 years and my FH is having his best friend and brother. I hear a lot of people say they wish they could have had a smaller wedding party because a big one can sometimes complicate things. But its all in what works best for you!

There is nothing wrong with this as some couples are now moving away from having a wedding party. I read an article about this as it is optional to have a party or not to have a party.

I think that's a lovely idea! We are only have 1 MOH and Best Man! That's it! Best decision ever!

I think that whatever you want to do for your big day that makes you happy is something you should do. I think it's nice that you're including your boys.

I think it's a great idea as long as you know you want that. I think it will be a lot more intimate with your boys up there with you and your future hubby. It's becoming a bit trendy for almost to none bridal party. My future hubby and I are only having a maid of honour and a best man in the bridal party. I think it will make the ceromony more intimate and more unique to our feel for the wedding. Hope this kinda helps

If that is what you want I'm sure it will be lovely and meaningful
