Heyyyy you newly engaged planners!

Have you picked your wedding party yet? Who is with you? How did you decide? How did you ask them? Tell us EVERYTHING!!!!

I had my 2 closest friends as my bridesmaids and my brother was my best man. A little non traditional but it was awesome to have my big brother stand with me, he even picked up my dress when I was trying to spin around at the altar.

It is such a fun process and you want great people spending the day with you.

    We're having a big wedding so our wedding party is quite large! I have 2 MoHs (I have 2 sisters and I couldn't choose just one) + 6 bridesmaids (my closest cousins, closest friends from university, and my sister-in-law who I'm very close with). He also has the same 2 best men + 6 groomsmen.

    Initially we weren’t going to have anybody!! We just didn’t want the drama that can come with it. But then we decided to have a best man and maid of honour. fH couldn’t choose between two friends so now we each have two close friends by our side.

    We have a small wedding party so we opted to have 2 maid of honour, 1 groomsman that we decided to name bridesman haha due to the fact that we are 2 brides 👰 so it won’t be very traditional and 3 bridesmaids as well as our little ring bearer. We chose not to pick a flower girl since we don’t know anyone with a daughter in our friends circle. We can’t wait to both get married it’s coming soon in September !!! I can’t wait to marry my best friend and the woman of my dreams ! I’m so blessed !

    I really have no idea who will be standing beside me. It will be a small 2nd wedding for both of us do I wont need a lot of people to stand with me. I've moved alot lately and am not close to many people anymore. I have just over a year to think about it. Lol

    My best friend since I was 12 will be my MOH and my FH best man is his brother! They are best friends as well as brother. Best man and I are also really good friends so I've been calling him "our best man".

    I think it’s so sweet that your brother was best man! My best friend will be my MOH. My cousins and other best friend will be bridesmaids, so four in total!

    I just got engaged a month ago and have been thinking about who I want to ask. I will be asking my sister to be my maid of honour and my best friend since elementary to be my matron of honour. Other than them, I have 2 other very close friends I will be asking to be bridesmaids and am contemplating asking my future sister in law to be a bridesmaid as well. I think it can be a great bonding experience but I want to make the right decision.

    My daughter (24 is my MOH) and my son (28) is my bridesman and he is also walking me down the aisle. This was easy - except I also wanted to have my BF of 40+ years as a bridesmaid too, but instead she is singing a song as I walk down the aisle. She just so happened to get engaged very recently and is having her two kids stand up with her, so we both totally understand. Smiley smile

    I chose my good friend since 4th grade for my MOH, then two other good friends for bridesmaids and my fiances sister as my last bridesmaid. He chose his oldest friend for his best man, another close friend as a groomsman (he's also our MC) and then both of my brothers are groomsmen as well.

    I like that. For us it's a bit different. I have two Maid of Honors and two bridesmaids but my sister, who is much older than me and who didn't really want to be part of the wedding party, who will be my witness Smiley smile And my FH has his brother for his best man, and 3 of his closest friends for his groomsmen Smiley smile

    My MOH is one of my roommates from university days, we met in 2013.

    My bridesmaids are: another university roommate from 2014, my best friend from 2002, and my FH's sister.

    It was a fairly easy decision, I knew I wanted my university roommates in my party, and FH's sister. My 2002 bestie asked me to be in her bridal party, and I was planning on asking her to be in mine. There wasn't anyone else I was really debating and I'm happy with who I have!

    MOH - my Sister Bridesmaids - my bestie since grade 9 (known her since grade 1 though - 16 years), friend who I met at work and introduced me to my FH, FH's cousin, and a friend I met through my FH Smiley smile

    Best men - FH chose his two best friends to be co-best men, and then the other three are also friends from school as well.
