Bridal Party Issues

So how do I form a bridal party when I don't really have any friends? Between the pandemic and graduating college in April I no longer have any close friends. The only people i talk to are people I reach out to. I've been trying to make a point to stay in contact with old friends, but it's very one...
So how do I form a bridal party when I don't really have any friends? Between the pandemic and graduating college in April I no longer have any close friends. The only people i talk to are people I reach out to. I've been trying to make a point to stay in contact with old friends, but it's very one sided usually. I miss them all and try but not much happens. My fh will easily have his 5 best friends. Has anyone been in the same position or have any advice? Tbh I've always felt like I was a convenient friend to most people.

    Hey girl, I am in the same boar: my circle is small and I keep to myself mostly . Unlike my younger sister who had many bridesmaids by her side I just cant relate. I have friends but none Im extremely close to . I am choosing to have my sister and my maid of honor, and my friends Im honestly deciding. You can also choose not to have any and I dont think it would be a big deal. Is there someone important in your life , a mento, a role model, colleague, aunt , someone who means a whole lot then ahve them there, if not no biggie-hey you save on drama, coordinating a bridal party etc.

    Convenient friend here! I have cut out ALOT of people in the past few years, due to me feeling like t he convenient friend, this includes one of my best friends who I have been best friends with since kindergarten who I always imagined would be in my wedding, that stopped when she upped and moved states without telling me.

    My FH has 7 Groomsmen, 2 are best men being they are his older brothers. I have one solid friend, my 4 cousins and added my future sister in law last minute cause personally uneven sides were bothering me ( I'm a little too Type A for wedding planning) My cousins and I grew up more as siblings than cousins, but have grown apart due to getting older, with jobs and boyfriends, but they have been by my side my whole life, and I couldn't imagine them not standing next to me on my wedding day.

    If having no one by your side is what's bothering you and not uneven sides, think untraditionally, are you close with your mom? grandmother? aunt? Just because they're older, or not traditionally thought of as bridesmaid they are still important to you. When picking my bridesmaids it wasn't "whos going to help with planning?" or "who's going to throw a good bach part/bridal shower/etc" it was "who's stood by my side and who do I want by my side on the happiest day of my life.
