No bridal party?

I really wish I wasn't! Lol go for it!!!

I'm so glad you posted this! I REALLY don't want a bridal party, it's so nice to see I'm not alone!

I am not having one either, we decided on that before we were even engaged lol...my best friend was sad that she wouldn't be my MOH but she got over it. It makes things a lot easier and one less thing to worry about.

We have a small bridal party. My MOH his BM and my brother our bridesman… I personally wouldn't want anymore people than that. I have friends who are getting married soon and regret having such large bridal parties. I love the idea that it should be about the two people getting married and kind of focus on that. It's about a lifelong bond between you and your spouse and that's all that should matter

We don't have one. Planning has been so stressless! Was so happy with our choices after I heard about a cousin who was in tears the week before her wedding as her entire BP was going to drop out. Too much drama!

We basically did the same thing, we have one person on either side of us. Just soooo much easier and less stressful

I've been to a wedding with no bridal party & it was fine in my opinion

I wanted a very simple wedding and had no desire for a bridal party, but DH really wanted to have a best man. Since this was the only thing DH asked for and I pretty much had free reign over everything else, I agreed as long as we kept it very minimal. No bachelor or bachelorette parties and the bridal party literally just showed up the day of in their outfits. The extra cost was covering a portion of their attire, a small gift and 2 bouquets and a boutonniere for the best man, groomswoman and my MOH. It would have been cheaper without a bridal party, but I'm glad my DH was happy.

This is not my first wedding but it is for FH. We aren't having a BP but his brother (would be his choice for BM) is going to officiate for us!

We didn't have one, don't regret it at all.

I initially didn't want a bridal party. FH got upset and said he wanted to have his childhood friends so I decided to just do my sister as MOH. You can imagine my irritation when we started looking at suits and FH said he didn't understand why we needed a bridal party. It's still pretty easy with only one person but I do sort of wish we would have went totally simple and had none.

FH and I chose not too. Literally everyone's reaction has only made me more sure of our decision. Then everyone will ask but who will sign the marriage certificate...

3 of last year's weddings did that, was fine. Not a bad idea at all!

LOL We are getting married in 8 days and I am not sure if we have one or not...since we only have like 17 guests, it really isn't a thing, but I am pretty sure FSIL will stand up for us and FH will have a brother up there, but nothing formal, no special clothes, no extra flowers, none of the BS or drama that seem to come with a bridal party. I have gifts for each of them to say thank you, so I suppose we have a MoH and a BM, but that's about as official as we are about it.

At one of our venue tours, the owner asked how many bridesmaids I was having and I told her none. She was shocked and told me I had to have them. I thought it was more common not to but I guess not. I just don't see the point and as selfish as it sounds I don't want anyone standing up there with me besides FH!

We don't have one, except for my dog.

No bridal party here! Too much drama I've seen with my family and friends' weddings. I see the benefit if you have a great bridal party, but it is also a lot of unnecessary stress

I'm not having a bridal party for many reasons...but mostly because I knew it would add a lot more unnecessary stress

I wish I wasn't! We've only had minor drama but I've definitely spent more on their gifts, flowers, and rehearsal dinner than I wanted. I'm team nobridalparty for sure.

We had only a Best Man & MOH -- no drama and low expense.

I've officiated quite a few weddings without wedding parties. Some things to keep in mind if you go that route:

Some states require witnesses (but it can be anyone present, not someone standing beside you).

Some brides have passed their bouquets to their moms sitting in the front row.

Usually the groom or the officiant will hold the rings.

I have also arranged the bride's train once she was in front of me.
