Do you regret anything about your wedding party choices? Whether there’s someone you’d want to remove, someone you didn’t think of originally that you’d want to add, or an MOH switch-up - if you had a free pass, would you change anything about your wedding party?

    YES! I desperately wish I could change my bridal party. I asked before thinking, and that was not smart.

    False. We were happy beginning to end with all 8, his and mine. Mine were several states away, only saw them once, when MIL near them gave shower. Then FI saw them twice in NYC, only one lived closer than a 6 hour drive. But other people gave me 4 showers, small, and kids camp where we met working, and volunteers 6 weeks of next ,did a shower for both. FI had a Bach weekend with only one there, and other friends. We did not need anything, for help, that a few family volunteers did not help with. Guys all owned tuxes, so wore them. My 3 in NYC suburbs went together and got off the rack gowns. My second MOH wore a velvet gown she had already. So no need to mesh impossible schedules or shop, or plan anything. No hassles, no personality issues. Happy to have been so lucky. They all did it did each other's HMU, and I did mine, so no crowd getting ready together for hours, which I personally hate. I took under an hour, shower to dressed, before groom and I did private photos. Two MOH saw everyone through group photos. No coordinator needed. The only one who goofed anything up was me.

    False- mostly. There is one chance I wish I could make a change to. Having my sister as my personal attendant. I know people on here think of the PA is like the Bride's b!*ch but I see is as being a stage manager. Someone who watches the clock, keeps the guys and the ladies on time and helps the MOH keep the Bride clam. So, I asked my sister to be this job and explain what I envisioned the job as (stated above) and she said she'd have to think about it. 7 months later after not taking to me at all during that time she started off a conversation by "now that it's the new year, what do WE have to do to get you ready for this wedding you're going to have?" 🤨 over the 7 month of not talking, she's spreading rumors of I not wanting certain family members at the wedding or how I've banned Her and her husband from the wedding. Told people that we were going to change the date because I got pregnant and that I was forcing my parents into bankruptcy to pay for the wedding. All of the things are the farthest from the truth (except uninviting her, that's crossed my mind a time or two).

    False - even though my one BM & her BF (who is a groomsman) broke up I still wouldn't change anyone. I couldn't imagine my day without my girls.

    False. I’d probably prefer a smaller bridal party (we have 7 on each side), but I don’t know who I would cut, so I would still keep it as is

    False.

    Actually the one I shouldn’t have had in my bridal party, is no longer my bridesmaid so now I’m so happy to have my ladies stand next to me!

    True! I want to fire one for sure, and if it was up to me, I wouldn't have any.

    False!! I love my girls and couldn't do life without them. All 3 of them have been huge blessings in my life.

    True. I did switch out my MOH. She was upset and didn’t want to be a “regular bridesmaids” so she dropped out of the wedding completely and blocked me on all social media. Her loss not mine!

    Nope. I had two people - my MOH and bridesman. Both have been my friends for over 20 years - and we had a ball the morning of the wedding.

    Do you have any other friends or family members that you could see being apart of your day?

    It has been a couple months since our wedding but I don't think I'd change anything about my wedding party, even though one of my bridesmaids was dating my brother at the time of our wedding and now they're no longer together. Does it suck that she's in our pictures for the rest of our lives? Yeah.. but the day was still meaningful with her there at that time.

    Completely. I am no longer friends with one person and wish she was not at the wedding.

    Apparently one of my girls isn’t the person I thought she was and is showing her true colors. I have only been patient and kind and apologized if I hurt her feelings unintentionally. Apologizing only made her madder. So I’m giving her time and I was upset and first but I don’t really care anymore. She has to decide what she’s going to do and my focus is my fiancé. My other bridal party members have only been sweet.
