How to introduce bridal party to each other?

Future Mrs.Gute, on February 24, 2017 at 2:13 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 32

Hi there Brides I was wondering how to introduce my BM to my FH GM. Do you think having a BBQ and doing a few games is too corny? I don't want my girls to feel awkward taking pictures with a dude they've never met. Please send your suggestions. Thanks! Future Mrs.Gutierrez

    We are having a bachelor/Bachelorette party together so they will all get to know each other better there. But FH also wants to all meet up for dinner even before that. 2 of his groomsmen live states away so it'll be basically impossible for them until wedding week. So as far as those two go, we are going to just roll with it.

    I thinks that sounds fun, I would enjoy that. or maybe have a little birthday party for you or FH to bring everyone together.

    My fiancé and I are having both sides all out at Dave&Busters! It's a really fun place to eat have some drinks and they have adult games to play! We are doing that a few weeks before the wedding then a week before I'm going to do something with my girls and he's doing something with his guys!!

    That's a cool idea. Two of my BMs have not met, and none of the girls have met the boys. Two GM are flying in after the rehearsal, so as a group they won't meet until the wedding day. No one really cares, they're not expected to become best pals.

    Meh...I don't think you need to do anything special. Are you having a RD? They can meet then. I was in a wedding and that's when I met the person I was walking down the aisle with - less than 24 hours before. It was fine.

    My fsil wanted to have a BBQ & play games. I was super annoyed and did not want to attend because I didn't care to know the guys in the bp. I was paired with FH but still.. didn't wanna know the other people. I wouldn't do it.

    My parents threw us an engagement party which allowed our bridal party to get to know eachother. I have two BMs on opposite sides of the country that were able to attend. We too are taking the route of joint bachelor/bachelorette parties.

    I have three out of state BMs. Like 1000+ miles away. When they are all in town for my shower, we're going to do an evening BBQ/drinks affair for the party. They do not all know each other but have very similar personalities so FH & I both agree it will be a great time!

    I felt the same way that's why FH and I had a bridal party meeting sort of like a meet and greet.It work out perfect.We had a couple of food and drinks(alcohol) everyone had a great time

    My BMs hadn't met, and ended up all meeting at my kids birthday party one day. The girls haven't met the guys yet though, and I doubt they will before the RD.

    It's really not necessary.

    For the wedding I was in last September, the Bride and Groom had a cookout and invited the BP that lived in state. Only 3 people out of the 12 person bridal party couldn't make it but it helped to meet who was included in their day.

    All of my BMs generally know each other from other parties or dinners I've had with everyone invited, but after we found the BM dresses together I treated them to lunch at a restaurant so they're at least familiar with one another. They won't be meeting the GM until the week of our destination wedding. Most of the BMs & GMs are married or in long term relationships so I didn't see the point in them officially meeting for anything.

    If all the BM come to the bachelorette, they'll meet there. If not it'll be the wedding weekend. They are all spread across the US and from different stages of my life. They do all know of each other.

    The entire BP will meet weeding weekend/RD. Not too worried about it as everyone is all over the US.

    Maybe it's because I'm more of an introvert or a party pooper lol but there is nothing more I can't stand then bridal party "meet and greets." I find them incredibly awkward and not necessary. Rather just meet them the day of haha.

    It's not a requirement that everyone meet. You could also just have a get-together/BBQ/game night and have the guests be the BMs and GMs.

    Essentially, a hangout with your friends who are in the wedding party but not a wedding-centric event.

    At my friend's wedding none of the bridesmaids knew the groomsmen. I met "my" groomsman while walking down the aisle. It was not a big deal at all.
