Is it too early to ask my MOH and bridesmaids?

Is it too early if I want to ask my MOH's and Bridesmaids 1 year and 5 months ahead? I really want to do it during Christmas time and if I wait until the next Christmas it would be too late.

    My vow renewal is 13 months away. I had asked 1 person to be MOH and due to some issues with this person I had to ask another friend. Someone I should've asked in the beginning.

    General opinion is to wait until 6-8 months beforehand. If you know the people well enough, I would say a year out is probably still okay. Almost 2 years out is waaaaay too early. Just because you haven't asked people to be in your wedding party doesn't mean you can't talk to them about wedding stuff. And if they keep hounding you about it, you should tell them to back off because it's your decision to make.

    I would definitely wait until mid 2018. Yes, you'll get questions from your friends asking if they're in the wedding, but your closet friends will probably already know.

    I do not believe in waiting 6-8 months before your wedding to ask your bridal party. You have no idea how long it may take a dress to get ordered or altered. Just wait until mid 2018!

    Way too early. They need to get a dress. The end. Most people can manage that in six months.

    @amanda s, what happened that you needed to a) replace them b) I hope the backups don't know their backups and that you don't actually intend to replace your honored loved ones like subbing players in a grade school soccer game...

    Normally I'm all for the earlier the better, but unless it's like your sisters or other family members I would say hold off indefinitely.

    So me and my partner have set the date for our wedding in 2026 I know this is 3 years in advance! Most of my bridal party is family, and that’s the only
    Way I envision it! We are having our engagement party in a couple of weeks time ( we got engaged beginning of may) I would honestly love to ask them now but I think it’s ridiculous in advance but I also want someone to be excited with me😂 is this ridiculous?
