Who Does the Groomswoman Get Ready with on the Wedding Day? Does She Attend the Bachelor Party?

It doesn't matter who she walks with. Our groomswoman is getting ready with us girls. As for the bachelor party that should be up to them. If she wants to why not. I'm also planning on inviting our groomswoman to partake in bachelorette party activities.

My sister in law to be would like to stand on his side. So she will be. She'll walk with her husband probably or with my sister. Just have her walk with another girl if you have the same number of people. Or if you're having the guys already up there... by herself. She's still a girl so she'll be doing all the getting ready or whatever with with us. I'm not sure he'd want her at her bachelor party. I think most of this is kind of a non issue. Just decide what she wants and what your future husband wants and go for that.

Fh's sister is a groomswoman. She is attending everything that my bridesmaids are attending, will be getting ready with us, etc. She is walking down with the best man & maid of honor. She'll be at my bachelorette party. Just because she was standing a few feet away from my girlfriends/sister and wearing a different color dress didn't matter, I still wanted to include her in everything.

My FH has two groomsladies. They are getting ready with FH, his best man, and his mom. I'm having a separate hair and makeup person come to their location to take care of them, since they won't be getting ready with me.

They will walk down the aisle with their corresponding people on my side, who happen to be women.

As far as bachelor party, I have encouraged FH to invite them, but he thinks they'll be a buzzkill for the best man, because one is married to him. LOL. I hope they go to his, but they're also invited to my bachelorette, and they came to my shower.

I think it's different for everyone, but that's how we're doing things.

GM usually walk down the aisle solo - officiant, groom, then GM in that order - or come in a side entrance right to the altar. If you plan to have the BM and GM recess together, she can just link arms with one of the ladies OR have one of the GM in the middle with one of the BM and her on each arm!

As far as getting ready, that depends on your logistics. Are you providing hair and makeup to all your BM? Then you should for her, also. In that case, I think its totally fine for her to come to where you all are getting ready to have her hair and makeup done. Women take a lot longer than men to get ready. I also personally would rather hang out with ladies than a bunch of guys all day anyway haha. If you are not providing hair and makeup, I would let her decide whether she wants to get ready with you all or not. I'm assuming you know her well and have a good relationship with her since she is such a good friend of your FH's!

I think his bachelor party depends on what she wants to do, and what their plans are. If its a weekend away, she probably doesn't want to spend all weekend with a bunch of guys. If its a night out at a bar, she might want to go. My bff had a guy as one of her bridal attendants and he did not join us on the bachelorette night out or at the bridal shower. He also did not get ready with us in the morning, and instead got ready with the groom and his GM.

Ask her? I was in a wedding, and my best friend was the groom. I ended up being a bridesmaid and hanging out with a group of girls I didn't know or really like. Most of it was terribly uncomfortable and I wish I would have been able to hang out with "his side," which was made up of all MY friends. I wouldn't worry about the walking part, but definitely involve her in the dialogue of who she would rather spend time with. Some people may rather "hang out with guys."

His sister is his best person. Where she gets ready is causing issues. FH wants her with him that morning when he gets ready and ride to the ceremony with him and wants her 3 children there as well. And so does she, but she also wants hair and make up with the girls. She thinks I should just get ready early so she can be ready in time to go and be with him. Not happening. She is walking in with the groomsmen, walking out in the processional with my MOH but I am buying her the same gift as the bridesmaids and she is wearing the same color dress

This will vary based on your relationships. We have a groomslady. She's wearing a dress the same length and material as my bridesmaids and the same color as the groomsmen's tuxes. One bridesmaid offered to walk with her, but we also thought about having a bridesmaid walk down with FH's dad and the groomslady with my grandfather (only living grandparent between us). She was invited to attend either the bachelorette or bachelor party, but bachelorette fits her schedule better.

Thank you for your responses! I asked her who she would feel more comfortable getting ready with and she said, "It doesn't matter, whatever you want me to do," which does not help. She is more of my fiancé's friend than mine. That is why she is on his side. She is really close friends with all of the guys on my fiancé's side. My fiancé is having two best men, one groomsman, and one groomswoman. The groomsman and groomswoman are ex's (they were all in the same friend group in school). I just don't know if I want her walking down the aisle with another girl. She is wearing the same style of dress as my bridesmaids, but in the same color as the guy's suits. I want her to attend his bachelor party. I'm just not sure if she should have her own hairdresser and makeup person or if she comes with me for that and then leave after she is done.

My FH sister is going to be on my side and her wife will be a groomswoman. We are going to give her the option of where she would like to get ready. In my case she is walking with her wife so that makes it less of a hassle. As for the bachelor/bachelorette party, we are actually having a joint party in vegas so we will all be together. I think if we had done them separately we would give her the choice of attending on or the other, or even both if she wanted to.

FH was in a wedding last year where there was a Best Woman. She walked with the MOH, got ready with the groomsmen and planned and attended the bachelor party. Shea his good friend and he asked her to be a part of his wedding day. She should be involved with those things.

My FH sister is a groomswoman. She is wearing a dress in the same color as the tuxes and it sounds like she is getting ready with the GM. She will walk with my cousin who's a BM.

She would get ready with the guys, unless your fh opposes that but I assume he chose her bc they're friends

She can or cannot get her hair and makeup done - it's her choice if she's paying

Bachelor party is what your fh wants
