Bridesmaids and groomsmen meet?

Zanetah, on January 6, 2022 at 3:31 PM Posted in Planning 0 10
Are you having both sides of your wedding party meet? My bridesmaids don’t know majority of my fiancés side they each only know 1 or 2 people…


I was thinking about doing a Zoom since everyone’s kinda all over the place… I’m curious to know what everyone else is doing. Are you having both parties meet? Is it important to you that they meet?

    We will be doing a welcome party where everyone will meet. Then there will also be the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.

    While most of them knew each other, it wasn't really important for us to have them meet, and that has been the experience of all the weddings my husband and I have been in. Usually they just meet at the rehearsal.

    Most, if not all of them will meet at the rehearsal/dinner (that's where all ours met). Do they all need to meet and become acquainted with each other or are y'all just wanting to do something fun? I think if you can get everyone together on zoom, try and have a few ice breakers that way there isn't an awkward silence.

    No, I see no reason for this. All of our local friends knew eachother from parties we had hosted over the years, but my across the country MoH only knew my girls and my husband’s gm from out of town hadnt met my girls. None of our wedding events required them to hang out together except for the walk back up the aisle after the ceremony, and the 5-10 min spent on full bridal party pics…everyone got on just fine for that and has some fun, and then back to the party and mingling on their own. I don’t think I did any formal intros personally but by the end of the wedding everyone seemed to know eachother 😂

    We're hosting a fun weekend in the city where we live and inviting our wedding parties and their SO's to come meet each other. My MOH still needs to meet my husband anyway. Its optional, but as far as I know all except one are excited to come and are making the trip.

    I don't think it's necessary or even important that wedding party members meet each other before the wedding (or the rehearsal). And I would definitely not be in favor of another Zoom meeting in my life. The required ones for work are plenty at this point.

    I think it's nice to have them meet! In my case I took my two bridesmaids out for dinner since they hadn't met - I am having my sister and SIL. My fiance is having his two brothers, and we hadn't planned to introduce my sister to them beforehand, but she'll meet them on the day before, I think, since we're having a laid back catch up at the pub for anyone who is around that evening.

    Most of ours will meet at the rehearsal, thats been pretty standard with the weddings Ive been a part of in the past.

    We had a rehearsal and rehearsal dinner so they met there, otherwise we didn't have any kind of social for them ahead of time

    We don’t see any reason for them to meet prior to the wedding. A Zoom meeting for everyone is unnecessary.
