Maybe you made a promise to your best friend years ago that she would definitely be in your wedding, but you haven't spoken for a while. Maybe your closest friends don't hold the same place in your life that you sister–—or even your fiance's sister–—always has. How do you choose your bridal party? Here are some suggestions.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Consider the role of the bridal party. They'll be standing along side you. They will help you to plan your wedding and will have a role in planning your bridal shower and reception as well.
Step2
Consider the popular choices for your bridal party: your sister, your fiances sister, close friends or family members.
Step3
Think about what you want from the women in your bridal party and talk it over with your fiance.
Step4
Keep in mind that it is your wedding and, though a friend might be hurt at first by not being chosen, your friends and family will understand and respect your choices.
Step5
Narrow down your options based on the size of bridal party that you are planning for.
Step6
Choose the women whom you believe will best be there for you–—both at your wedding, the reception and while you are planning the wedding.

Tips & Warnings

  • Keep in mind that your choice really is up to you.
  • Don't choose someone solely based on other people's opinions; choose the person that's right for you.
