Order of bridal party?

In my best friends wedding, i stood 5 out of 8. she is my matron of honor, so she will be 1st in mine. its not that big of a deal- the people who you asked are your closest friends. they wont care about the order.

Mine will be matron of honor/best man, maid of honor/one of my brothers, then from there im pretty much gonna go by height

Mine is MOH and then goes from oldest to youngest. It works for me because it puts my sisters closest then best friends then FSIL. Which is pretty much the order it would be if I was going by "closeness"

We went by height, which pretty much worked out to also be closeness. We got lucky!

I'm going by height because the idea of ordering people by closeness just feels weird. The only exception is my MOH who will be next to me.

I didn't care about the order when I was BM in my friends wedding

We did it by closeness or length of relationship. My side was easy. My MOH was my sister, the bridesmaid standing next to her was my other sister, and the bridesmaid standing furthest out was his sister.

His side was trickier, they were all friends. So he just ordered them by how long he's known them.

Every wedding I've ever been in has been MOH followed by height (tallest closest to the bride, shortest farthest away from the bride). That is how we'll be doing it.

The weddings where I've been a bridesmaid it's been by height, which means I am usually next to the moh since i'm 5'9"

We went by height, and no one was offended. They all knew it was a measurable thing, and had nothing to do with how close I was to each of them. Frankly I think more people would have their feelings hurt by the latter.

We did a combo of both. I knew I wanted it to be MOH, then two college friends, then two newer friends. So between the two groups of two we went by height to match the GMs better. FH had a distinct order for his side, so it worked out

For the girls it went moh then by height. Guys I had the idea of the same way and who should walk with who. Lol it turns out fh had the same order in mind. FYI I am a very type a who likes order so heights going all over drive me nuts.

I was thinking MOH and then either by height or how long I've known each one. Height might be hard for me because 2 of them are probably close in height.

For mine in doing my MOH (sister) then my other sister so she won't be offended, then my friend whose husband is a GM so they can walk together and then my other friend. I find it easy doing family first and the. Matching up couples so no one can be offended (I don't think any of mine would be anyway. My best friend (is was her MOH) told me she did it in order of closeness but the BMs didn't know this.

I think it's one of those actual bridesmaid duties to stand and walk in the order the bride tells you and not gripe about it. I would never make a stink about something like this. They can deal with whatever you want.

I never felt offended by what position I stood when I was a bridesmaid. We are more focused on what people to put together because some are couples and people whose personalities will mesh.

Also don't want to have my 12 yr old niece walking with and adult other than her dad.

I think I'm going to do by height because I don't have a MOH.

Thinking about this is probably my LEAST favorite part of the wedding. I have an order in my head but I just know someone will be hurt & although they may not make a fuss about it out loud that it will be hurting them.

All of my girls SOs were GMs so we arranged them based on how long DH knew the guys.

Were doing it by closeness so my MOH then 3 cousins (by age) then 2 friends

I have three attendants. It will be MOH, college friend, FSIL.

This works two ways for me- shortest is closest to me ( FH and I are both short too).

Also didn't want middle BM to feel like she's in last place because there are only three. FSIL won't mind being last and we will match up her husband on the men's side too.
