Bridesmaid worries

I had 10 bridesmaids and most of them were from different parts of my life and didn’t know each other. It was completely fine and beyond getting ready and the ceremony they hung out with their own friend groups and families.

Adults will typically be fine being cordial. I don't know anyone who has a group of friends that are complete clones of one another--I know many people who have friends scattered all over, some having never met each other. They get married and have all of those friends in the bridal party all the time. Sure, personalities can clash, but most people are fine to get along for one wedding day (and maybe, if someone offers, a pre-wedding event or two).

Also I'm confused, if you don't plan on un-inviting them and they already bought the dresses, what are you asking? If you mean that you'll only be "un-inviting" some people from the bridal party, but not the wedding (even though they'll have bridesmaid dresses as wedding guests) then I think that is way more trouble than it's worth. This is definitely a difficult time, and postponed weddings can definitely mean relationships have more time to change. However, barring a huge falling out between you and one/more bridesmaid(s), changing things around would likely cause far more issues than it would solve anything.

I think you are honestly overthinking this. Not all of my bridesmaids/bride's man knew each other and not all of my husband's groomsmen/groomswoman knew each other. Everything was totally fine as they are all adults and had no problem being cordial. The only time they really spent together were getting ready and at the ceremony. Otherwise, they spent time with other friends and family they did know.

I wouldn't worry too much, they will get along just fine. I have one loud bridesmaid and everyone dealt well at the bachelorette weekend and that was a lot more time together. My friends are all chill so even though everyone is different we all got along. Day of they will spend even less time together and I think it won't be much of an issue at all!

You ever think that maybe they’ll also be friend one another? I mean two of my bridesmaids are friends now aha. Like that’s cool ya know?

I really wouldn’t worry. Most of my bridesmaids cane from different parts of my life and they all got along just swell. I’ve also been in weddings where the bridesmaids didn’t know each other and it was still fun! They’re there to support you.

I had 7 bridesmaids all from different parts of my life, and they all fell in love with each other. They even have a group chat that they still talk in. Most likely, since they love you and you get along with all of them so well, they will mesh with each other

Oh yeah, I'm definitely not doing any of that!! Like another reply said, I have been overthinking this situation, and just was looking for some insight from other brides who had multiple bridesmaids who didn't know each other and everything went fine.

Thanks for the input!

My bridesmaids are all from different parts of my life - 3 from college, 2 from my previous job, 2 are FH's sisters, and 1 is from our current friend group. They are all very different people, but I don't think it's an issue. They all have at least one thing in common and it's that they love and support you!

3 of my BMs know each other, the other 3 are strangers to all the rest. I connected them all to each other via a facebook chat so they can get familiar with each other's personalities, and am trying to plan on having them all at a bachelorette party the weekend before the wedding so they can all get to know each other a little bit in person before the actual wedding day. Mostly, I have faith that they are all wonderful women and will get along just fine. I love each of them for good reason.

If you're that concerned they won't get along, maybe organize a couple virtual gatherings for them all to get to know each other between now and your wedding. And maybe have a talk with your MOH about your concerns so she can help keep the peace if there is any friction for whatever reason.

Don't worry, they will fine, don't overthink as this will stress you out. I was in a wedding party of 7, not all the girls knew each other, but they have the SAME professional career. They all live in different states and have different personalities. We never had any drama.
