Choosing Bridesmaids is Tough!

Lauren, on July 9, 2020 at 6:47 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 4
I have picked all of my bridal party: my bff/FSL as matron of honor, best friend from college/neighbor now as maid of honor. BMs are: a friend from high school, a friend from college, 2 friends I got close to after college, a new friend in our friend group from home that I see sticking around for the rest of life that feels like family. Then I asked 2 greeters that were two of my best friends from college that I don’t talk to as much anymore but still love wholeheartedly and want them involved.


I know that some people don’t care about even numbers in bridal parties, but this is something that I want to do. That being said I have 1 space left for somebody that I feel close to and have 2 in mind.
I have one friend that spends a lot of time with our friend group that I enjoy being around and could talk to about anything, plus I have a great time with her and know she’d bring me up on the day...but we don’t have as much of a personal relationship because we live far away from each other and always get together with the group. My other friend is a really good friend from work and was my first friend in a new town (that I don’t see us staying in long term.) We are basically the same person, we spend every day together, and I love being around her, but I’m not sure what our friendship looks like after I move away.
They would both be an awesome addition to the bridal party, and I know there’s not a rule book for these kinds of decisions but any advice would be helpful! ❤️

    I would suggest go with your instinct. When you think about the position, who comes to mind first? The person that is, is the person you should choose.

    It sounds like you have a more personal relationship with your coworker, that's who I would go with.

    My best friend (and bridesmaid) is a former coworker who now lives halfway across the country. If you guys are really close, I would be willing to bet that the friendship with her will last even if you end up living in different cities.
