Does your bridal party know each other?

My girls are my sister and my BFF, so I know they have met before but I don't know if they would recognize each other if they met up on the street.

I have 5 bridesmaids. One is my FSIL who lives out of state so she doesnt know any of them. 2 are super close, and 2 others are good friends. The 4 in state have met when we went to look at wedding dresses and bridesmaids dresses. We are all in a group chat so they "talk" on there.

I was thinking of having like a “Painting with a twist” party to have them meet each other and introduce themselves so they are more helpful and open.

I agree. You definitely don't want them to be strangers not that they would mind but . Most people don't care because they are there to support the union but a get together amongst friends sounds like a cool idea

Three of my five were on a bowling team together (with me) so they all know each other. My MOH is my bf from high school so they have met her but aren't friends per se. My 5th is my sister, who again knows all the others but isn't necessarily friends with them. I just have them all contact info and called that good!

Most of mine knew each other except for my FH’s sister (she didn’t know any of them) but I did a “bridal day” where we all went to lunch and tried on bridesmaids dresses together. They have each other’s contacts and have a group chat without me to plan stuff. It was a good icebreaker

I have 7 girls and hes got 7 guys-- all of his guys know each other but since I picked from so many different friend groups, its different for my girls. Everybody at least knows 1 other girl in the line up! I have them all in a BM group chat and then they put themselves in a chat with the GM and without me and FH LOL. We have been trying to plan something for the entire party to get together but its hard since we live in NC and our entire party is in CT!

FH and I have 8 bridesmaids and 8 groomsmen, we started off by making a group chat for all of my bridesmaids to exchange info and ideas. The groomsmen include college friends of FH and our 4 brothers, so the guys all knew each other.

At the start of our planning, I was feeling very off about my girls not knowing each other, so I planned a girls night in with candy/wine tasting, movies, drinking games, ice breakers, prizes, etc. Now they all talk and contribute a lot of excitement to the wedding together.

Our Best Man and one of the bridesmaids also generously planned a co-ed Bach Weekend on a lake in VT at a beautiful AirBnB mansion for us, the bridal party and their SO's to get to know each other better.

Even planning something small for your bridal party to get to know each other could do a lot of good for wedding stress! 💖

Yes, they all have met. They are my closest friends. We all do a lot (the guys and girls). We do big group outings and are around each other all the time. We also have a group chat my MOH started that has been nice!

My bridesmaids all met but they have not met one of the groomsmen the best man is my brother so no introduction needed

I have 3 bridesmaids and none of them know each other. I sent an email to all of them to give them some wedding details (and so they’d have each other’s email). My MOH and 1 BM have each other’s cell phone numbers but the first time they met was my bridal shower. The other BM lives in Texas so she won’t meet anyone until the wedding. I also have a bridesman who met my MOH once about 7 years ago but he hasn’t been involved in any planning (that I know of).

My MOH already knew my one bridesmaid, but two of them had never met the third. Thankfully, they all got along swimmingly!

Most of them, the only thing is that most of them haven't met FH's nephew and niece!
