Anyone not having a bridal party

Why did you make the decision to not have a bridal party? Also, do you feel less stressed? From the beginning I made that decision and it was the best thing I could have done. I hear so many horror stories. People are always shocked when I tell them I'm not having a bridal party. I feel its the best...

    I feel like it’ll just be BAM! No flower girl...no nothing...Here I come!


    I feel like I have to make up a few people to come before me so it’s not so sudden.
    It’ll be Pastor & My Handsome Fiancé 😊...then BOOM! Here I am!

    I'm sure there will be time while everyone is waiting for all the guests to come so it won't seem so sudden😊

    Yeah that would be cute! my fiancé us walking down with his grandma 😊 so that will take some time. Honestly I would rather it be quick in my situation because I want time for pics before the sun goes down.

    Not having a bridal party either. We have been together 11 years and have a 9 year old daughter so I wanted it to just be us up there! It’s way less stressful and I’m happy with my decision

    We're having a MOH (my sister) and BM (his brother) and that's it. I think it's made things a lot less stressful for sure.

    I also won't be having a bridal party for a few reasons! First, my FH has more GM than I do and I would not have enough to match. Second, it is pretty hard to coordinate plans with my friends because of work schedules and finances for some. In the end, I figured it would be more stressful to try to coordinate and find enough bridesmaids. It kinda bums me out but at the end its for the best!

    I'm not having either an engagement party, bridal party, or showers. Instead we are throwing a mass party on the night of the rehearsal.
