Filed under Planning a Wedding, April 7th, 2011 by admin

You have a ton of close friends, family and coworkers that are excited about your wedding. Choosing the women who will be your bridesmaids and maid of honor at your wedding will not be an easy decision to make. There may even be some hostility in your friendships if you don’t ask a certain somebody. You can’t ask everybody, but if you have found yourself in an all out war with yourself, here are a few ways to help you choose!

Your wedding party should be a reasonable size. You shouldn’t have fifteen bridesmaids if you are only inviting fifty people to your wedding. The average number of bridesmaids is three, but you can have up to seven depending on the size of your wedding and how long you are willing to wait at the doors to walk up the aisle. Remember, the more bridesmaids you have, the more of a chance there will be for complications. When choosing bridesmaids, more is less!

You don’t have to ask your friend to be in your wedding, just because she invited you to be in hers. This is your wedding, after all. You can choose anybody you want without feeling guilty. Your high school pal will not hate you forever just because you didn’t ask her to be your bridesmaid.

Your bridesmaids are there to help you keep your sanity through your planning process. They will help you make decisions that your fianc can’t help you with. They will be there to support you and to help you deal with any complications that arise. Be certain that the women you choose are trustworthy enough to fill this spot and not create more hardships on you than you already have.

Remember you are not required to ask your fiance’s sister, especially if you don’t know her well. The women you choose need to be there for you, not for your soon-to-be. Be reasonable with yourself, your friends will respect your decision!
