did you have a bridal party meet and greet?

For us it's not necessary.

My daughters are my junior bridesmaids and my sister is my MOH.

FH's groomsmen are his coworkers.

It may be a nice thing to do since they don't know each other. I wish I would have done it, just to gauge interest on their part in wedding activities.

I thinking doing something small and low-key at your place will be a great way for them to get to know each other and also start the whole wedding planning fun! I had my BM's over for wine and some snacks one afternoon and it just turned into a fun girls day. We talked a lot about the wedding, but also just random stuff and they all got to know each other.

I think it will also help them feel more comfortable sending out all the planning emails that they'll need to start at some point.

Only suggestion - don't ask them for tooooo much advice on the wedding planning. It can get overwhelming to have a lot of opinions...especially if they start to conflict. It's your day so just make sure you're making the final call

I think it would be a nice thing to do!

My bridal party all know each other but, they don't know the groomsmen so we are planning like a field day, set up with outdoor games, for everyone from the wedding party to get to know each other! Then, once the sun goes down, we'll switch gears a bit to a bbq, backyard, pool party. Just a whole day for everyone to spend together!

Hi there Felicia. I had a bridal party meet and greet two weekends ago. It went well. We met at a restaurant and just ate laughed and talked about the wedding. very informal and casual it was fun. one BM didn't show but she's meeting me this week. I think its def necessary and it gave the grouo a chance to meet each other in person although two of them are my sisters and they all kinda know each other.

I didn't and always wish I had! My bridesmaids are from three different states and there was no way I could everyone together to meet, so I just intro'd them in an email. They've been emailing and texting since and seem to get along fine. They finally all met each other at my bridal shower last weekend and everyone seemed comfortable! If it's easy for all your maids to get together with you sooner that would definitely ease any tension of them having to work alongside people they don't know yet!

Thanks everybody! I wasn't sure if it was a good thing to do or not. @Hilery I didn't even think to include the guys! thats a great idea! I just want to get afeek for what they are comfortable with and what they are not.Also to pick a date to look for dresses! I really appreciate everybodys input

I did it when i asked them all to be my bridesmaid...they all pretty much have met at some point prior but didnt really know each other...now we all hang out all together almost every weekend

Welcome to WW, Felicia! One of my BMs lives in another state, so I wasn't able to do this, but with only 3 girls, it wasn't that necessary. But I did "introduce" them to one another using a bridesmaid newsletter, which also kept them up to date with wedding events planning, the dress, etc. Some ladies also do FB groups for their girls, which can also be a good way of doing this for people in different cities/states/countries.

I hope you'll stick around and update your avatar (the rings) to ANY unique picture from Google we can remember you by. Here's how: https://www.weddingwire.com/wedding-forums/welcome-to-the-weddingwire-forums-please-read-if-you-are-new/b433c40c1a62b96a.html
