Is it okay (proper) to ask bridesmaids before my FH knows who he wants in his bridal party? We know we want 5 and I have mine chosen. The only problem is that one of my BMs is the wife of his best man...

Hey y'all! We are getting married in November and it is in our Venue contract that smoking on the property is prohibited. We are getting married on a farm so there aren't really places they can go to...
