I am torn... My wedding is not till Nov. 2011 and I have been warned not to ask girls to be bridesmaids until the year mark. I was curious if you all have any advice?? I just don't feel its fair to have the girls helping me with so much when they dont even know they are in the party...plus I am certain that my girls will be my friends by then anyway..

Re: asking your bridal party
I thik its whatever you feel comfortable with. I asked all mine around november/december last year. Just make sure these are girls that you wont regret having in your BP. My friend went through the same thing.. she asked hers and got married now she only talked to about 3 of 7 of them, so just make sure these are 'the' girls! If you know they are, then I say, ask whenever you want! Good luck!

If you know for sure who you want; go ahead and ask them-this way they know they're in the party and can start to get anythig they need/want to do in order. They might want to start a work out routine; or start to brainstorm showers etc.

Re: asking your bridal party
I am getting married in Nov of 2011 and I am actually asking all my girls on Fri. I have heard people say to wait until the year mark but I know for sure that even if I waited I would still ask the same girls. Some of them are my fsil and others are friends who I know I will have the same relationship with. Now that I booked my RH , I feel like I can officially ask them and it also gives them time to prepare!!

Re: asking your bridal party
I never heard of the year mark to ask your girls - I asked mine just before Christmas and we got engaged in September.
2 of mine are family (cousin and FSIL) and the other 6 are close personal friends - i never really thought about the possibility of having problems w/ them from now till the wedding.
But with that in mind - i think you have to just do w/ what you feel is comfortable.

Re: asking your bridal party
I think you should ask when you are confident that these are the girls you want in your BP and when you have discussed with FH how many people you want MAX in the BP.
I knew even before we got engaged that my twp BFFs were going to be my MOHs so I asked them right away. Once FH and I agreed one how many people we would want in the BP, I then asked my two cousins and FH's sister to be in the BP as well and then FH asked his boys.
I feel like our WP is just one big family so I really don't see there being any issues with anyone.
