My husband and I got married last year, had a private dinner with our parents and siblings only and waited a year to have our wedding party with friends and guests. We are calling it a anniversary wedding celebration. Since we already got married, i don't think we need to do the whole "wedding party" stuff but I still want my girlfriends to feel like they are special and be my bridesmaids but don't want to do the whole "bridesmaid" stuff or even wearing same dresses, specially because my husband is not having any of his male friends be groomsman.
What would you think if someone asked you to be their bridesmaid but aren't going to take part of any of the bridesmaid rituals. Do you think I shouldn't even ask my friends to be my "bridesmaids" as an symbolic gesture? or pass it altogether? I will love to hear what people think!
