No Maid of Honor or Best Man?

Completely unnecessary. You don’t need them if you don’t want them.

I agree with Laura! You don't need them if you don't want them! It's less to deal with, too!

If your state does not require witnesses, then I saw go with your original plan and skip the wedding party.

You'll have to check to see whether your state requires witnesses to sign. But even if it does, you can have anyone as your witness--it doesn't have to be someone standing up front.

Yeah i looked. texas doesnt require witnesses, so it looks like we will be sticking to our original plan. thanks, ladies!

We aren't going to have a bridal party but are going to ask someone special to be our witness.

You don't need to have a MOH or Best Man! Anyone who watches your ceremony can be a witness

Lol, I was thinking the same thing! Why dont the Guests count? We aren't doing a bridal party either. Do whatever makes you happy.

I think it’s fine without them !!! I didn’t want a wedding party but my FH did so 🤷🏼‍♀️😬

Agreed - I don't even want anyone like that in the wedding. I guess it's a new trend to go without, but that's just how I feel. I'd prefer my friends and family to witness the ceremony rather than stand up there like scarecrows lol. But I think people just need to bare witness to you signing the marriage certificate if I'm not mistaken.

Nope not needed! We’re not having a bridal party either but our two closest friends are going to sign.

If mom is insisting you have a "special" witness but you don't want to choose an MOH/best man, maybe consider having a special relative/close family friend (such as a godparent) as your witness. That might appease mom without having to designate an MOH/best man.

We aren’t having a bridal party just our 2 year olds, and they can’t sign our license so our mothers are signing!!!
