No wedding party?

I don’t think it’s weird not to have one, it’s up to the two of you. I always wanted my best friend to stand up there with me, I’ve known her for around 20 years, but I don’t have many other close friends so she’s the only one that’s a definite for me.

Not weird at all, lots of couples opt not to have a wedding party. That's one of those things that is more personal preference now-a-days

Nope, not weird. We didn’t have one—no extra stress, cost or drama for anyone. No regrets. I got ready with my mom & sister. You can still get ready with a BFF or family members for the champagne, fun & photos that usually happen with a bridal party.

Nope, plenty of people skip it.

You can definitely opt out if you want. I just want to add that I don't think they always add unneeded stress and drama. We read tons of these stories on this forum about it, but it's not always the case. We get married in less than 2 weeks, and I can't say there has been any stress or drama associated with our having a bridal party or with anyone in the bridal party. All of our friends and us are very low key though, so I think it just depends on the people.

Absolutely not, do what’s comfortable for you!! I’ve heard way too many stories of wedding party, specifically choosing a bridesmaid only to have regretted their choice and it also adds unnecessary drama. For our wedding FH chose his brother and my daughter. Simple and drama-free. Good luck with planning!

I’m not having a bridal party. FH and I both come from big families snd neither one of us wanted to fight with everyone about what to wear and how much it would cost.

Not weird at all. Smart. Very very smart. We are only having a person on each side. My best friend and his brother. No regrets.

I agree with PPs - nothing wrong with skipping a bridal party!

We are having the same size wedding and opting out of having a wedding party. All of my would-be bridesmaids live out of state and its just a big expense and burden on everyone. We think it will be much easier just focusing on us and not have to worry about 10 other people, gifts, photos, and a big reception table. We MIGHT have just 1 person standing with each of us but we still like the idea of just not having anyone.
