Bridesmaids and Flower Girls

Take your time and use these five tips to choose your ideal bridal party to reduce your stress and save your relationships.

  1. Just because you were once close but are out of constant contact now, there’s no reason to feel guilty about not asking someone to be in your wedding party.
  2. Wait to ask people to be in your bridal party no less than a year before you’re to be married so you know you’ll still be close to them on your wedding day.
  3. If one of your best friends is a man, feel free to ask him to stand up with you as an attendant or bridesman.
  4. Whether you opt to go with a family-members-only wedding party (saving the stress of choosing from a large group of friends) or you decide on a different set of criteria, make a plan for choosing your bridesmaids or a wedding party members and stick to it.
  5. If you have close friends or family members who aren’t in your bridal party, find other honorary acts they can perform on your wedding day to let them know you think of them as special.
