I am getting married in October 2026. Instead of having bride maids/grooms men we are having attendants on the brides side. It is my first wedding and am an older bride, I am wanting friends who have been in my life as attendants to be part of my wedding but not have to deal with the extra cost of getting a bridesmaid dress. Is there the same wedding etiquette for attendants as there is the for the brides maids? Needing help and suggestions!!
