How many bridesmaids will you have, and who are they?

Melissa, on September 6, 2020 at 10:50 AM Posted in Planning 0 26

So I've finished asking my bridesmaids, and I'm happy to say they all accepted. It's made me curious. How many bridesmaids will you lovely ladies have in your bridal parties? And what is their relationship to you. Are they mostly family, friends from school or work, or a mix?

    We'll have two female attendants. One is my best friend since childhood on my side and one is our former team manager who will be on his side.

    We are having a very small destination wedding, so I am only having 2 people stand with me- my maid of honor and my man of honor. Both have been my closest friends for 17 years and will be in my life forever. There were zero questions in my mind about who I would ask ❤️

    Congratulations!

    I have 8 bridesmaids.

    My maid of honor is my older sister. I have two college friends in my bridal party, my younger sister, two friends I've known since high school, my best friend since grade school and a friend from work that I grew really close to last year. I love these girls and I'm so glad they will stand with me.

    I had five bridal party members. My sister was my MOH, my brother's wife, my husband's sister, and one of my friends were bridesmaids and my brother was my bride's man.

    That's great that they all said yes!

    I only have a Matron of Honor, who is my sister. I don't have many close friends so I didn't want to pick people just to have people in my bridal party.

    How exciting! I have three, one from each major portion of life so far. Friend from Kindergarten, friend from my first time at college and friend from work within the last five years.

    I had 3 BMs and 1 bridesman. I had asked a 4th woman, but she couldn't do it, as she lived too far away and could not afford to come. (I expected that, but love her too much to not have asked her.)

    They are all dear friends (and, incidentally, all 3 ladies are married, so they'd Done This), essentially family to me. I know them all through my theatre work. My bridesman is my brother from another mother, he's been through *everything* in my life since college, and is the director/producer/writer/or some combination of those three for ...half? my theatre resume? (I'm getting annoyed he's not terribly famous yet, he deserves to be.) My MOH is more of a theatre junkie who can do tech, but she's a creator in her own right, and a Hufflepuff to the core. (She has her own nerdy shop, but also works as an essential worker, and she and her DH have been bringing us supplies through the stages of lockdown.) The other two are married to each other, and are composers/writers/producers/actors/directors, as well. (We had hoped to make them famous writers this fall, but, well, theatre is not happening.)

    My best friend and my sister are standing for me. I've had a small wedding planned since the beginning. I wanted the 2 people who I consider my sisters to be by my side, supporting me. I'm also having my daughters give me away Smiley winking I wanted them to be a major part of this event, too.
