Do you have to have a bridal party?

We are just having a MOH and BM. But now as it get closer (4 months to go) I am wishing that I did have a bridal party. For us it was just too much though to do the whole party (more money to spend) and since we planned our wedding pretty quick it was just easier to do our siblings. My friends are great and are helping plan my bachelorette and shower since my sister is a lot younger then me but I find myself feeling like I am missing out not doing bridesmaids as well. I guess I won't know until the actual day how it all works out.

Since your friends are still helping you, you could get them little thank you gifts like tote bags or makeup ups etc...

My family and friends are slowly accepting that I'm not having a bridal party and one my sisters is sour about it cuz she feels like she should be my MOH. But she hasn't really spoken to me since i got engaged so i have no clue why she would think that. lol for me its easier not to have a bridal cuz of my situation with my sisters i dont want anyone to throw it in my face that they did this for me and they put my whole wedding together. -thats the way they are

I totally understand where you are coming from! My sister basically appointed herself as MOH although she is 12 years younger then me and we aren't close I figured it was the right thing to do but I am missing having my friends a part of it since I am closer with them. But you are right I definitely plan to get them a little thank you and give it to them either at the bachelorette party or shower.

One of my good friends recently got married and she didn't have a bridal party and it worked out great. The wedding was beautiful and there was more time to dance and mingle since the ceremony was shorter and their were no bridal party introductions, toasts, etc.

Thats what i plan on doing. some of my friends say they're gonna help with centerpieces, bridal shower and bachelorette party. When that time comes and they keep their word. Im going to get them something. Its crazy that some of my sisters don't even know my venue and i booked it months ago. they dont even ask or brushed it off or forgot.

My FH and I wanted a really small bridal party, so we just have the BM and MOH. And we are quite happy with that. :) Our families and friends have been uber helpful throughout every step of the planning and I honestly don't know what I would have done without them. :)

Do you have to have a bridal party?

I wish I had just stuck to my gut and just had my two sisters and my FH have his twin. In the heat of the moment I asked two additional friends and he asked my two cousins. The only person actually kind of doing their job is my one sister, the MOH and she's not even doing great. It's supposed to be fun and they're all making planning a drag
