Choosing your bridal party can make or break your wedding day. When you feel like you have too many people to choose from, it's time to get serious about who you want in your bridal party. From your maid of honor to your bridesmaids, it's time to narrow your options. Your wedding day is about you and your significant other. While guilt or obligation may influence you to choose an individual or two for your wedding party, remember that you can always include people in your special day even if you don't have room for them in your wedding party.
As you consider your wedding party, ask yourself these questions:
Is your relationship with this person strong?
Does this friend appreciate your fiance?
Do these friends have time to be active bridesmaids?
How long have you been friends?
The Strength of Your Friendship When Choosing a Bridesmaid
If you have been tight with a friend since elementary school and your relationship has stood the test of time, by all means choose this person as one of your bridesmaids. If your relationship has been more fickle, you may need to pass on this person for your wedding day. If this person is simply a friend you met at work and socialize with once in awhile, they will understand that you need to choose your sister-in-law over them.
The Friend Sees How Great Your Significant Other Is
Your wedding day is special, and you want anyone who is going to be in your wedding party to see how wonderful your significant other is. You don't need negativity on your wedding day. If your friend has taken the time to get to know your partner and is ready to help celebrate the joy of your union, they may be a great candidate for your wedding party. On the other hand, if your friend backs out of plans with you, and your partner or doesn't really know them well, don't feel guilty over not including them in your wedding party.
The Friend is Up to the Task of Bridesmaid
Take time to think about how busy a potential bridesmaid is. The job can be a busy one, especially if you want honest input on your wedding day details, what dress to choose, and the bridal shower. While you may love a particular friend or family member, if they are due to have a baby the same month you are getting married, this will put a big burden on your friend. While a surprise pregnancy may mean a few simple adjustments to a bridesmaid dress, knowing this ahead of time can make it easy to choose this person to read a special verse during the ceremony instead.
