Through out this board I see a lot of venting about the bridal party. I myself am going thru some disappointing moments with some of my bridal party. So I was thinking that if I could give any future brides a word of wisdom, it would be this:


Don’t pick your Bridal party right away, wait a while and see how they are through out the planning, those who are there for you and those that are not. Then make your choice. I think this will save you some aggravation.

I know I chose my girls right away, it was a no brainer. I think somewhere in the back of my mind, I had the list even before I was engaged, these were my girls, but you know what they say. Weddings bring out everyone true colors. Don’t get me wrong I love all my BMS but boy it really hurts when you are counting on them through out the planning and you think they will be there for ya, and they let you down.

I wish I would have read this sooner, we asked alot of people (informally), so we're having a huge BP

Re: Bridal Party Advice

Your advice is simple and right on. That's exactly what I did and it worked. I chose my MOH right away because I just knew it was right. My second and third I chose after a few weeks. My fourth took a few months. I had a close friend from HS I was thinking about asking, bu tI didn't hear from her much. I figure I'll see how it goes at the engagemetn party, well at the party, we talked, joked, had a great time, then guess what I haven't heardf from her since.. so, I picked someone else.
