Bridesmaids

No, it's not weird. Actually, it's probably the smarter choice; because it's a lot cheaper and less drama to not have them.

Nope, we are not having them. I still ask my family and friends for advice and will have them get ready with me, but no official bridal party.

Not weird at all! I think it makes it more romantic and about you two. We are only having my sister as MOH and his brother has Best man because we were there's and we are close to them... if not for them it would be just us!

We are not having bridesmaids or groomsmen either! Cuts out extra costs for them and no one will feel left out or hurt for not being asked to be part of the party.

Nope. It's so much more cost effective and drama free!

I've seen weddings without it.

Not at all, think about the drama that can ensue with maids and even the men.

This isn’t weird at all. It’s your wedding and you can do whatever you want. There isn’t a rule anywhere that says you HAVE to have them. 💕

I'm only have a MOH (best friend) and he's having a BM (brother) I think it's totally whatever you want to do!

View Quoted Comment My thoughts exactly!

Not weird probably is better. My bridesmaid will be my teenager daughter and my 2 newly acquired step daughters. Groomsmen will be my 2 grown son, step brother and my FH best man. I found simple but yet elegant is the way to go. I’m not much of a traditional woman. I say do what’s in your heart and what’s brings you joy.

Honestly, I love my bridesmaids but sometimes I wish we just didn't have a bridal party, it's stress (not a lot, but it still is haha) and I feel bad having them buy and plan things for us! So no, not weird at all. It's your day, do what you want

No bridal party for me. My son will walk me down the isle and my fiance's sons will be up at the alter with him. Just us 5.

Not at all! Weddings are about you and your spouse.

I honestly don't think its weird. to me that seems a lot more intimate than having a huge bridal party. i am having my mom as my maid of honor and two bridesmaids but my fiance isn't having any groomsmen. i think you should do what you want for your wedding day even if it doesn't include a bridal party!

Nope, I thought it was weird that we are having 2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers.

Not weird, or strange, just a choice of the way you want it. My 18 year old cousin was kind of childish 2 years ago, when I last saw her before she did 20 months away with distant family. Hyperemotional, cringe if anyone was at all aggressive in their social manner, questioning her. I was so proud last month when an old schoolmate and her mom got pushy over this issue, schoolmate wanted to be a bridesmaid. So they asked her for a list of reasons. And she quietly, in a pleasant voice said, we do not have to justify our choices to you, or anyone else. We decide on the style of our wedding, no one else. . . . Bridal party, or none, and who to choose, is one of the few choices totally up to the couple, even when someone else is paying much of the bill. And the ceremony content, including whether it is religious or not. I have never understood why so many people think B and G must have "a good enough reason" for an issue where the primary people affected, the decision making hosts of the event, violating no standards of etiquette, express their preference and have no reason to do otherwise. A wedding is not a wish fulfillment program for friends and family bridesmaid wannabes, or their parents. And the whole attitude of, I am so hurt because I always thought I would be your bridesmaid, makes me want to carry around a sign to flash : get over yourself.
I was happy to see this quietly self assured 18 year old be be gracious and kind to others at her engagement party, but take no BS over this.

Nope! You’ll probably save yourself a lot of stress 🤣

Nope. Your wedding you do what you want.
We are having MOH & BM.
I didn't want to stress out everyone with spending money on a dress they might wear once. Then shoes, hair, Make up.
Just come to the wedding & have fun

Nope! I only have 2 bridesmaids, but I wish we didn’t do a party at all sometimes. Not that I don’t love my people, just trying to make it easiest as possible
