So my Fiancé and I know we will have a best man and maid of honor. However, I don’t know or we don’t know if we even want to deal with choosing who should be brides maids etc. I don’t think I even want that to avoid any issues and less stress or everyone. Has anyone or is anyone doing this? Is there another name to go and celebrate my closest ladies. Plan with them etc but not necessarily call them bridesmaids?

If you have one maid of honor and one best man that is enough already. Some people do not have more than one and it is fine. I do not think your friends would mind helping you and your MOH out without having a title or a role, necessarily.

You're not required to have bridesmaids

Having bridesmaids and groomsmen definitely isn't a requirement. When I got married in 2015, I only had a ring bearer and flower girl. I might have a MOH and best man for the vow renewal but not sure yet.

I’m planning on having just the maid of honor and bridesmaid too. It’s too much of a hassle to have to navigate a bridal and groom party. I think it’s perfect amount! If you have friends you still want to honor, you can definitely celebrate with them at a bridal shower.

We have a best man/MOH, and only one groomsman/bridesmaid. We chose to keep it small we didn't want too many opinions and just enough to have support.

You can have uneven sides if he still wants groomsmen, or just not have them all together. If they stand up with you, get ready with you, etc. they are bridesmaids. You can have bridesmaids and avoid all the stress, I really did! I put 0 pressure on my bridesmaids and did all planning myself. I made it easy for them to get a dress and pick most everything themselves.

Hey Wendy!! What have you decided to do about a bridal party? It's totally fine if you don't want any other bridesmaids! 😊
