I am getting married in October of 2023 ,and I want to go ahead and ask my bridesmaids especially because a lot of us have a busy work schedule and hardly see each other, and and I want time for some of the girls to get to know each other, but I am worried if it is too early? I already bought...

I already bought proposal gifts as well.

    I am getting married in October 2023 and I’m planning on asking them this weekend. They already have an idea but not the exact titles. Just going to dinner and I’m giving it to them. My future SIL I’m shipping to her because she lives out of state.

    I am an October 2023 bride and I asked my bridesmaids at the end of last year. We are having a destination wedding so I figured the earlier the better.

    I’ve asked mine already almost from the beginning but speaking from experience make sure they won’t back out or cause issues. I had a backup just in case I had one of the start something or bail and it turned out to be the best move. One of my maid of honors and her husband decided to start things with my fiancé and I and said such horrible things that I never thought they would say about me that I’m thankful I had a backup because they are no longer even invited. Depending on how long you have known them and if there family you might be safe but always stick with your gut to know

    My wedding is October 21st, 2023. I asked the majority of my bridesmaid (5 out of 6) between November and December! I have one bridesmaid left to give the proposal to, only reason she hasn't received it is because she's out of state. She knows shes a bridesmaid though!

    I’m working on my boxes right now.
    I plan to get them out in the mail before September, this way it gives them plenty of time to plan/make arrangements.

    I asked my people almost immediately.
    It never even occurred to me that this would be something you shouldn’t do. I didn’t do anything cutesy either and asked over text because I didn’t realize that was a thing (having never been in a wedding). Whoops! Lol. They’re all helping me anyways and one is his sister. I’d say it’s totally fine.

    Not at all! The night I got engaged, my fiancé and I came home to 4 of his groomsmen and one of my bridesmaids in our house. We asked them then and there and texted/called the others that night. It’s never too early.

    Asking now might be a good time if you are really close with them! Wedding planning can be stressful, so its best to get some tasks out of the way now so that you wont have to stress sbout it later!

    I don't think it's too early at all! As you said, you all have busy schedules and lives! It never hurts to ask early. It will give them the chance to really plan. Even if they can't give a definitive answer in the moment, it would help them be able to think how to get the time off work/plan to get sitters (if necessary!) and all sorts of other things.


    Personally, I've already asked mine because my wedding will be in Hawaii and we're all based in Arizona. I want to make sure as many of my ladies can be there as possible! 😂

    Never too late I asked all mines in advance due to some traveling from out of state so they need time to plan! I’ll be getting married in August of next year! I’m already getting ready to place deposit on a photo/video/dj package and engagement photo shoot

    I don’t think there is such thing as too soon. When I was planning with my ex I started asking the day after I got engaged. If you know who you want in the wedding then ask. Gives them more time to prepare. But if you aren’t quite sure yet then wait. It’s up to you ❤️❤️❤️
