Wedding planning: “5 Tips on How to Choose Your Bridesmaids”
Wedding Planning
It’s a fact that wedding planning requires a lot of important decision making. Think wedding venue, wedding dress, wedding cake, invites… However, choosing your bridesmaids is as important. For some an almost impossible task, for others an easy peasy pick. The question is, what are the rules; how does one decide? Actually no, there are about five questions you need to ask yourself that will make it easier to pick.
- How close are you really to each bridesmaid? Each decision should feel good and right. It should be someone you feel very close to and envision in your life for many years to come. This can be either relatives or friends.
- Is she actual bridesmaid material? Not to sound harsh, but not everyone has was it takes to be a bridesmaid. A bridesmaid comes with a lot of responsibilities and this is something you need to take into consideration right from the beginning.
- Is she supportive of your marriage? It’s probably pretty important that your bridesmaids are all a big fan of the groom. This way you will avoid uncomfortable feelings and awkard situations of your bridesmaids trying to evoke any cold feet situations.
- What’s the current situation of the possible bridesmaid? It’s important that this matches and not clashes with their responsibilities and your needs. Might sound selfish, but hey, it’s your special day! Wedding planning is not small potatoes…
- Who gets easily offended or extremely emotional? These are the friends or relatives you might want to skip for your consideration. You don’t really need an over dramatic bridesmaid to add to your stress level.
The actual number of bridesmaids kind of depends on the size of your wedding. But if you are planning on having a larger wedding or a destination wedding, it is perfectly acceptable to have a bigger number of bridesmaids. Now grab a pen and piece of paper and see for yourself who makes the cut!
