Choosing bridesmaids

Gender is irrelevant. Pick the closest, most supportive bestest friends in your life right now who you regularly communicate with. Do not pick anyone out of obligation since other people's opinions and pressure on you should not be entertained for any reason. It's also ok to have uneven numbers on each side.

Like Michelle said, your bridesmaids don't have to be girls. You could have bridesmen. My brother vwas my bridesman. My sister-in-law has three bridesmen in her wedding. My husband's female best friend was a groomswoman in our wedding as well. The people in your wedding should be those closest to you regards of their gender.

Thirding this.

One of my BP was a bridesman, and DH had two groomswomen.

You pick those you turn to when stressed, when excited, when you just need to go and do something silly.

Basically - who do you trust when you are your most stressed, and when you are your most happy? ...That's the people in your BP.

Then hav your guys. I chose my MOH because she is my best friend and if there was anyone I needed at my minimony it was her. I have a lot of great friends and would have loved to have had them there but she was #1 in my books. If you have all men who cares. It is 2020. New traditions are meant to happen.

It was easy to choose mine. My 2 MOH are my sister and bestfriend. My bridesmaids are my niece, closest cousin, and both of my husbands sisters. Once we started planning, I immediately knew who would be in my bridal party.

If you have guy friends and want them to enjoy your special day then add them to your bridal party. I agree with the previous comment, its 2020 do whatever you want!

I choose my nearest and dearest friends, their gender wasn’t a factor.

Times have changed. Have 2 Bridesmen amd one Bridesmaid if it suits you. I am alternately proud of and miffed at one brother, and one lifelong friend, who would only be in our wedding as ushers, and who laughed me out of the house when I said I wanted them as BM in 2006 discussion. Proud that they finally changed their minds. Miffed that in the last 5 years they did for others what they would not do for me.

I chose my closest friends. I had 2 bridesmaids and 1 bridesman. It does not matter if your friends are girls or guys, either can be a member of your bridal party.

If you choose your guys friends that's cool too. i had a bridesman in my bridal party. choose who is closest to you.

I don't see my husbands sisters TOO often, maybe once every few months, but I have both of their numbers and we've been texting so it made it easy for them to be a part of the planning process.

You can always ask your husband's sisters, maybe a female cousin of his, if you need women to stand with you. Some of them will expect to be included anyway.

But there's nothing wrong with having "bridesmen".
