So anyone think that asking the bridal party at the engagement party is bad? I been thinking if I ask them there it would be a little different. But it's also more personnel to do it with just them. I was thinking I can call each person up and hand them a little something I'm just so anxious I don't know if I can wait till march to do it

Re: Ideas on asking bridal party at engament party
i couldnt wait until my engagement party which was only a little more then a month after we got engaged to wait.
my thought is that if someone is NOT in your bridal party and they thought they were going to be, its like a huge let down for them not to be called up. PLUS there are people that might not want to be in your bridal party so that might be a little awkward. I did mine in private with them. I felt it was more personal and it also gave them the easy way out if they couldnt afford it or just didnt think they would have the time to be in it.
Then on my engagement party, i had the whole bridal party were either corsages and boutonnieres.

Re: Ideas on asking bridal party at engament party
I asked my girls beforehand because I knew I would need them to help with the engagement party. (was that selfish) Anyway somebody had to serve the food and it wasn't going to be me
I gave them a card and a book from barnes and noble about bridesmaids duties since some had never been in a wedding before.

I asked them before the bridal party but at the engagement party we took a big picture of all of us. I did ask my ring bearers at the engagement party but that just because we never had a chance to get together before then. I would say before just because it is so more personal and less pressure on them.

Re: Ideas on asking bridal party at engament party
Ya the more I think about it the more I know It cant be done because of pretty much what I knew before and what you girls are telling me. It will be rough doing it because of all the drama that goes on with everyone. I have a friend who im not putting in and she will be devastated so its better this way.
Im going to do The Bridal Party picture too! Im gonna hand them a little something too.
Thank you guys so much! Its always better to get second opinions on things becuase you just need the help!!! I appreciate it!!!!!!! xoxoxox

Re: Ideas on asking bridal party at engament party
I am only inviting the bridal party and immediate family of FH and I. So everyone who is there is in the bridal party except my aunts and uncles. We are only using siblings and first cousins and our bridal party has 18!! I didn't pick not ONE of my friends so not ONE can complain and they all understand and are happy. LOL so for us it is very easy. We are doing it at a restaurant and we told them 30 people. The simpler the better for us. I don't want to do a big party until the wedding.
