Am i the only one who dosnt have a ton of girlfriends?! Calling all introverts

Oh hey, fellow introvert! My bridal party consisted of my cousin as MOH, and DH's two sisters.

You don't need to have a ton of people at your shower or bachelorette. My bach was 5 people, including me. Simple and fun!

I totally get that - I have a lot of friends and acquaintances, but close friends - not as much. Less than a handful. But I also think as you get older - you focus more on the quality of your relationships...and those women are wonderful and I adore them. So - I believe in quality rather than quantity!

Nope, introvert here as well. I've had one consistent friend and one sorta friend who I've had a very strained relationship with. Once I moved 2 hours away to live with FH they really haven't put much effort in keeping in touch. I moved to the nearest city for shopping (our mall was 2 hrs away from our home town) and I know they come up regularly to shop but never let me know they are here. Everytime I would go home I'd try to check in and see them. It took my friend 3 years to even see my house that FH and I bought together. They've never been supportive of our relationship, so it hurts a bit they haven't put any effort into keeping our friendship intact.

But to answer your other question, we aren't having any sort of bridal party. The only people I'm taking dress shopping are my mom, FMIL, and my two FSIL's.

I have no bridal party but i didnt want one.. jjst a moh

I have 10 BMs but I still don't have many girlfriends here in Houston. My best friend/ MOH is my old college roommate who lives in south florida and I only see about once a year but we talk constantly on group chat and IM (this year I will see her 3x bc of the wedding, shower & bach, last year I didn't see her at all, and the year before I saw her twice). My other friend, and only other friend of mine in the wedding is my high school bestfriend who we talk all the time but she's in the navy so she is always out of the country (I see her usually around Christmas, so once a year). The other of my old friends we aren't as close and only talk on occasion (2-3x per year) they're invited to all the wedding events but aren't in the bridal party. The rest of my BM are my 3 sisters, my 3 closest first cousins that were raised like my sisters, and my FH's best female friend (me and her have become friends over the past year) & my FH's closest female cousin/mother of our godson.

I keep to myself. I actually have crazy social anxiety. Online too. I have no idea how FH and I made it past the first date lol

I have 2 friends left from high school. I havent really made any friends since then. One is coming to my wedding. The other cant. She lives in AR and I am in SC.

My bridesmaids are my 3 sisters

Nope my MOH and BM are my two cousins and step sister I have a few gf at my new job now but I'm still getting to know them. Also my wedding is out of state so I'm planning to invite them but I don't think they will make it to my wedding unfortunately

My MOH is my best friend that I've known since 7th grade (jokingly the last time I went out on a limb to find a friend) and my bridesmaid I've known since 9th grade (when MOH introduced us). Outside of family, I have maybe 5 other friends I'm inviting. I'm an introvert. I'd prefer to hang out at home with FH and my cats. Unfortunately, my cats can't come to the wedding.

You're not alone. I only am having 2 girls on my side. My MOH and a bridesmaid, both who I have known for over 10 years. I don't have any sisters and am not close to FH's sister. I am happy with my small BP, no drama, no stress just my best friends by my side.

Story of my life! they keep asking me for a list of friends to invite to the shower and i am like huh? I have like 2 girlfriends. Plus it is hard to make friends with other ladies when you get out of high school so we are having an uneven bridal party and it does not bother me one bit!

My MOH and BM are my 2 sisters. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have a bridal party. I'm only inviting family and maybe 2 coworkers to the wedding. FH's whole family (except parents) live halfway around the world so he's inviting only friends. I'm an introvert to the extreme and people just don't understand. I don't want a bridal shower because I know people will ask where my friends are and it's awkward. At least at the wedding with all of FH's friends it will give the illusion that I have some friends. His friends are great and we do hangout together, but we wouldn't hang out without FH so they're not "my" friends and inviting the girls to the shower would be weird.

Me too! Im introverted and just seem to have more in common with my male buddies than any female girlfriends. Im having my best friend as my MOH and my two sisters as bridemaids. Along with 2 bridesmen that I am so excited about!

80% of the people coming to our wedding are male. If I have a bachelorette party, there will probably be 5 women that I could invite. It's a "Sausage Fest" wedding for sure but I love my friends that I have (quality over quantity!) and I would never change them for the world.

Nope, I have 0 friends locally. A couple I talk to on social media. We just all moved away from each other. I also work 6 days a week and prefer to space out on days off or hang with fiancé and our dog.

I have no wedding party. Even my first marriage, I had mostly family in my wedding party and 2 girlfriends.

That being said, I wouldn't mind friends, I am just really bad at making time for it.

Yay introverts unite! Lol

Nope - the night that FH proposed I told him I didn't want a wedding party - I just have my Man of Honor (my BFF) and he has his Best Man. I'm only a little sad I can't surround myself with red bridesmaid dresses but I'll live.

I rushed panhellenic when I started undergrad and immediately knew it wasn't for me.

You're not alone. My bridal party consists of my "man" of honor: my brother. FH is having his brother as his best man. I've heard from so many people before that years down the road they don't even talk to half the people that were in their wedding anymore.

I'm not having a bridal party and the FH is only having a best man. Our wedding is going to be 25-35 people so i'd rather have everyone just relax. I'm not having a bridal shower or any of that other stuff either, all of it seems like "too much" as I dont like being in the spotlight. I don't relish making this day about me! As far as a bach' party, I'm just gonna go get a massage. No rando dongs in my face plz.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to. Seriously. It's you and FH's wedding.

We aren't having a wedding party. Mostly because I have no close girlfriends that I would consider to have in our special day. We ARE having kids in our wedding, but I don't consider that the "party." My oldest nephew (7) will be the ring bearer, my middle nephew (4) will be the flower girl escort, my niece (3) the flower girl, and my youngest nephew (11 months at wedding time) is going to be the escort for the mothers. There have been a few people who have asked why we're not having a wedding party, but they've accepted the "We don't want to" reason.

I am 1800 miles away from any of my female friends. My wedding party will be really small.

My best friend is my MOH and my FSIL is my only BM...my MOH actually just texted me asking me who I want to invite to the bachelorette and it was kind of depressing because I have no friends hah!
