Anyone else not having a BP??

Anyone else not having a BP??

Just wondering...we are only having a MOH (my sis) and BM (FH's Bro).

I did this more for simplicity, and of course, political BS. AND $$. Just would rather not deal with drama, which unfortunately, I have certain family members that love to create it.

Some days I am confident about my decision, other days I get upset. (If we ask one, we have to ask this one, you know how it goes)

We're having a very small one.
MOH = my sister
BM = my best friend (since we were kids - like, 4 and 5 years old)

BM (Best Man) = FH's brother
GM = FH's best friend

That's it. All people that we can count on 10000000000000%, and no one that we can't.

Mostly for simplicity and keeping things drama-free.

im having a MOH and Best man for the exact same reasons. we are going to add a flower girl and her big sister as Jr BM but they're 9 and 1 so how much drama can they really cause lol

i honestly didn't want a bridal party at all but I am having a BP because FH wanted one.

i think it adds to the stress (and expense). especially when certain people ask why they're not in it (or why their baby's aren't in it).

my parents told us to have just a MOH & Best Man. but we didn't listen. the guys have not been one ounce of trouble. they keep their mouths shut & ask a couple of valid questions. But these BMs have been a different story. they cause me so much stress.

Re: Anyone else not having a BP??

u know that I dont. just have my brother as my BM and FH has a BM his brother, if his brother cant fly in I guess his friend

the only time I feel kinda sad about this decision is when everybody on here are talking about their BP organizing their showers and b-parties and I have no one to do it for me.

tho I am pretty lucky that FH is organizing my shower. well thats what he says hehe

but that is the only thing that makes me sad, other than that its one of the best decisions I made for myself

same here. I have no siblings and neither does FH. Most of our close friends are older,married and FH may consider asking his dad to be Best Man if his friend is out of state that day..

I'm not having one. Less stress, less drama, less $$ you need to spend.

We're having my sis & my FH's bro stand up for us. No dresses, no dyed shoes. No muss. No fuss.

If it makes you happy, then it's the right decision!

Period.

small party for us:

BM-brother
Matron on honor-SIL
Maid of honor-my daughter
JR BM-niece

Believe me, it would be even smaller if I had my way...

And yes....it is this small to avoid, drama, expenses and misc bullsh**

Re: Anyone else not having a BP??

I'm having co-MOH's - my sister and BFF
FH is having his dad as BM
And my goddaughter is my FG

Hopefully a lot less drama than need be!
