No wedding party?? Thoughts??

There have been quite a few posts in the past month or so on this topic. It's completely fine to not have a wedding party. If you search, there may be some old posts from brides saying that it was a great decision.

I am curious though who would be planning your bach if you don't have a wedding party.

You definitely don't need to have a wedding party, and it's totally up to you!!

And you can still invite your friends to your shower and bach parties!

I vote no wedding party! We did it for our wedding this year, but we also basically eloped, but we only had two witnesses as our "wedding party." It removes so much stress. And, we are lucky to have friends and family that understood our wishes. so everyone at our wedding was special already. It was great.

Happy New Year! I'm not having a wedding party either. In fact, just one person, my brother, other than my partner and I will be attending our elopement. For me and as a second marriage, it just seemed to be too over the top and an irresponsible use of money. We prefer to put funds into a home and travel. Best to you. Congratulations!

No wedding party is fine!! Anyone (except you of course, lol) can host the bachelor/ette parties, so if someone wants to do that, then you're good. Your wedding isn't for more than a year so there's lots of of time to figure that out.

I'm also not having a wedding party. After my fiancé had to be a groomsman, we just saw it as an awful experience for the people in it. Having to spend hundreds on attire, take hours of pictures, deal with parties, helping with the wedding...it was so stressful for him, and everyone else in the party.

We want our friends to be able to relax, not spend tons of money, have to constantly smile and act so super happy. We just want them to be themselves, so we nixed the bridal party entirely. We have no issue planning things ourselves.

As for bachlor/ette we're just having a combined party with our friends.

I feel like this is pretty on-trend right now. I've been to two weddings like this recently.

We aren't spending the money on it. Keeping it simple and the entire wedding small.

No wedding party is the best way to go. What is very interesting to me is that I feel like some of my friends not attending the wedding would go if I would have asked them to be bridesmaids but since I'm not having any, the pressure was off of them to say they couldn't go to the wedding (although they swore they would initially lol).

But I'm having a destination wedding and didn't want to hear the complaints about the dress cost, makeup cost, transportation, shoes cost, dress being wrinkled, etc. so it was worth it to me (and less people to deal with at the end of the day yay!)
