    I'm going overkill on calling him my husband on our honeymoon, I guarantee it... Haha.

    Yes.. I need to start practicing the word husband! Haha and that totally makes sense, I’ll have to run it by my future husband and see what he thinks Smiley smile

    That's exactly why we are doing it. You don't spend too much time sitting at your table, so I think it will be nice to have that time just with my (then) husband *eeeee*.... For dinner & speeches. Plus I like when people are all directed towards the bride/groom, not distracted by other people at the head table. And our table would be super lopsided anyways. Haha.

    Those are awesome ideas! I’m kind of thinking about a sweetheart table too.. some oh my bridal party’s dates won’t know anyone at the wedding and I’d really prefer that everyone is comfortable so we’ll have to figure something out.. plus i really want to make sure I have quality time with my fiancé in the day of so that might be a good idea too Smiley smile

    I completely agree! We are having the guys enter from the side first, not going down the aisle, so the girls will walk in on their own. Walking out, each girl will walk between 2 guys.

    The only way my OCD brain is functioning with this is the fact that it's perfectly doubled.

    Also, all but 2 of our bridal party are in relationships with other people, so we aren't doing a head table. We are having a sweetheart table, and 3 "bridal party" tables, where they can sit with their significant others.

    There’s really no law on how they stand and walk down the aisle, you could always have the guys pair 2 to 1 of your ladies? Just a thought, I completely understand where you’re coming from. Oh the stresses 🙈

    As of right now we have four, but we still haven't decided if we are going to have any children in our wedding.

    Ughhh my worse nightmare right here. I have 4 girls, and my FH has 8... EIGHT!!! groomsmen. I've suggested getting bleachers for his side of the aisle.... And I'm only kind of kidding. They will be in two rows staggered. It was the hill he was willing to die on... so that's the way it's going to be.

    We are only having MOHs. We didn't really have friends we knew well enough that we wanted as bridesmaids and our small guest list would look strange with most of our friends in the party.

    I am doing a Harry Potter wedding, so I am having 2 grooms men (blue and green) and 2 bridesmaids (red and yellow). I decided not the have a flower girl or ring bearer, because I'm keeping my wedding 18+. I didn't want to ask any of my friends to borrow their children only to tell them that they can't come to the party after.

    When I go to weddings I always watch as board children run around causing mayhem or their parent spend the entire event trying to keep them entertained, then leave at 9pm because they have to put their kids down to bed.

    Our wedding is going to be so small that there's not really a wedding party. I have a flower girl, my mother is standing up with me, my brother is walking me down the aisle, and my FH is having the dog function as the ring bearer and his best man Smiley smile

    In a perfect world, it would just be the two of us, however, my fiancé wants to have several groomsmen, therefore we've had to adjust accordingly.


    Most-likely, we will have - including us - 16 people. This is not a concerte number tho, since I think it's way too many for the size of our wedding (100-120).

    My fiance's mom keeps telling me to "just add someone" well "just" adding someone does not work. I have my favourite girls by my side and I'm happy, so is my fiance 😊 as long as we are happy!

    Of course! We keep getting told “add another groomsman or remove a bridesmaid! Even your side out!” But we asked all the important people. We couldn’t imagine asking someone as an “after thought” or asking someone to step down—we’re happy with our numbers too!
