We didn't really break the ice I guess. At our rehearsal dinner they definitely mingled a lot more. Food brings people together for sure.

We didn't "break the ice" prior because I had 9 bridesmaids in 5 states, and he had 10 groomsmen in 4 states. 6 out of my 9 bridesmaids made it to my bachelorette party, and 8 out of the 10 groomsmen went to the bachelor party. That was a great time for everyone to mingle over the weekend & get to know each other. The bridal shower or a couples shower is also a great time, or an engagement party. I've heard of couples on these forums hosting a party to have everyone meet each other, but that would only work if everyone was in a close area and had a lot of free time and the couple could afford another party.

Food is always a way to bring people together lol. I'd recommend a casual dinner out when you can get everyone together!

I don't think it's necessary for every single member of your BP to know each other before the wedding. One of my BMs isn't meeting the other BP members until the rehearsal!

We are going to go out for dinner or lunch I think. I want everyone to meet each other at least. 5 of the 6 are local.

I got my girls together for a nice dinner out a weeks after they were asked. I asked them at Christmas, so we waited until after the holidays to meet up.
And then last weekend we got the entire wedding party together for a BBQ at our house. We wanted to hang out with our friends before "crunch time" and not have any wedding expectations behind it.
Both instances went very well and everyone had a great time.

None of my bridesmaids know each other and I haven't set up a meeting for them either. I only have 3 but even getting 3 people together can sometimes be hard. I plan on probably just asking them all to lunch or dinner so they can meet.

I had a bridesmaid sleepover hosted by one of FH family members (her house could hold us all). We went to a bar, came home, played some card games, and had breakfast when we woke up. We had a BLAST. I'd love to get all the BM and GM together before the wedding but I'm not sure if we could do that. All the groomsmen know each other and grew up together. My BM were the only ones that didn't know everyone, but most of them know most of the GM.
